Including several recently discovered drawings published here for the first time, this book provides a new perspective on the celebrated master. Essays by international experts on the artist explore how David's preparatory works on paper reveal the development of his creative process, while also bearing witness to the tumultuous years before, during, and after the French Revolution. As both a participant and an observer, David helped establish the new French society while documenting the drama, violence, and triumphs of modern history-in-the-making.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Metropolitan Museum of Art New York\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781588397461\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308","brand":"Perrin Stein","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41573959172277,"sku":"9781588397461","price":55.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_6365396d-e276-43ca-9571-3472c5257f93.jpg?v=1643687463","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/jacques-louis-david-radical-draftsman-9781588397461","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
