There Will Be Blood
Description
Andrew Graham-Dixon explores how art in France took a dramatic turn following the French Revolution that ushered in a bold new world. From the execution of King Louis XVI and the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte—a figure who simultaneously repelled and inspired artists of his time—through to the rise of Romanticism and an art of seduction, sex, and high drama, Andrew explores artists including Jacques-Louis David, whose works appeared on the barricades and in the streets, as well as the work of Delacroix, Ingres, and the tragic but brilliant Theodore Gericault.
