The Death of Marat by Jean-Louis David
Why was journalist and politician Jean-Paul Marat assassinated in his bathtub in 1793? Why would a young woman from an impoverished noble family work her way into his home and kill him? How did Marat rise to prominence in the Revolution? Why did David choose to create the painting?
We’ll explore the intersections of these lives in the tumult of the French Revolution, and the lasting appeal of this extraordinary painting.
Great art comes from real people living real lives. In his popular Art+History series, Paul Glenshaw brings his audience though space and time to revisit vibrant moments in history when iconic works were created, whether it’s Second Empire Paris, Boston in the American Revolution, or medieval Calais.
The immersive presentations are more like live documentaries than lectures. They're designed especially for the online experience, with extensive use of Google Earth seamlessly integrated with archival maps, images, and dramatic footage to put the viewer right in the action.
Join presenter Paul Glenshaw, lecturer for the Smithsonian Associates and professional storyteller, for this fascinating, immersive experience exploring Jean Louis David's The Death of Marat.
