{"product_id":"jacques-louis-david-the-death-of-socrates-fine-art-print","title":"Jacques-Louis David — The Death of Socrates | Fine Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eA bearded man on a bed lifts one finger as he reaches for a cup held out by a young man in red who turns away, hand to his eyes. A grey-cloaked old man sits slumped at the left; at the right a seated man in an orange robe grips the bed's edge, and friends cover their faces and clutch their heads. Chains and scrolls lie on the stone floor of a vaulted cell, and about three figures stand on a stair in the background.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art calls this a landmark of Neoclassical painting from the eve of the French Revolution, in which David took up a classical story of resisting unjust authority. The museum notes that he consulted antiquarian scholars for exact furniture and dress, and placed Plato at the foot of the bed as the author of the Phaedo, which preserved the story, rather than as a witness. Its curators rank it the most important Neoclassical picture outside France; the Met acquired it in 1931.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: oil on canvas, 1787; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJacques-Louis David (1748–1825) was a French Neoclassical painter, born in Paris. He trained under François Boucher and then Joseph-Marie Vien, won the Prix de Rome in 1774, and spent five years in Italy studying antique sculpture and seventeenth-century masters. His large history paintings, such as Oath of the Horatii and The Death of Marat, replaced Rococo decoration with an austere, sculptural clarity that came to define Neoclassicism and, later, the visual language of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Empire; he died in exile in Brussels after the Bourbon Restoration. His paintings are held by the Louvre, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Kimbell Art Museum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is made to our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/archival-museum-standards\"\u003eArchival Museum Standards\u003c\/a\u003e: a 12-ink giclée, printed to order.
