The Death of Marat

Artist: Jacques Louis David
Artwork: The Death of Marat
Description: Marat was a radical journalist and politician during the French Revolution. He was assassinated in his bathtub by Charlotte Corday, a young woman who was sympathetic to the Girondins, a political faction that was opposed to the Jacobins, to which Marat belonged. David’s painting depicts Marat’s body lying in his bathtub, with a blood-stained bandage around his head. The painting is a powerful indictment of the violence and bloodshed that characterized the French Revolution.
