Jacques-Louis David was a French painter in the Neoclassical style, and regarded as an outstanding painter at the time. 

Famous history paintings drawn by David in the 1780s changed people's tastes from Rococo's frivolity to classical austerity and severity and heightened feeling, harmonizing with the moral atmosphere of the last few years of the "Ancien Régime".

David later became an active advocate of the French Revolution and a friend of Maximilien Robespierre. However, David, who was imprisoned after Robespierre lost his power, supported another political power, Napoleon upon his release. At this time, he developed his own "Empire style", famous for using the warm colors of "Venetian painting"

After Napoleon was evicted from the power, David exiled himself to Brussels and remained there until his death. 

David, who had many pupils, had the greatest influence in French art of the early 19th century.
