Anyway, I really don't like Neoclassism that much, but David was great painter of realistic portraits (and I like the dramatic portrait of poor Marat too)
I sort of feel strange sympathy for him, because he was so ideological and a very human mixture of good (protecting other artists from quillotine, even those he disagreed with) and mean (he shut all the old art schools down, pretty much for personal revenge)
