SynopsisNow available in paperback. This beautifully illustrated book, originally published in 2005 in conjunction with a major traveling exhibition, is the first to examine the transformation of Jacques-Louis David's work during the post-Revolutionary period (1800-1825). Each of the works--many of which were previously unknown or inaccessible--is reproduced in color and accompanied by detailed scholarly information. Drawing on many new documents and close analysis of the works featured in the book, Philippe Bordes offers a revisionist view of this deeply reactive artist and the creative output of his "second" career. "A beautiful book and a significant contribution to our understanding of David's place in art history."-- Art Times "Bordes gives his readers the benefit of years spent looking at these paintings and drawings, as well as his encyclopedic knowledge . . . of the artistic, social and political histories of the period."--Louise Govier, The Art Book "[A] marvelously produced catalogue . . . meticulous and informative."--David A.
