David Video



  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJVCtPrJ7NQ

 Above you'll find a link to Simon Schama's video on David and "The Death of Marat" (just click on the image of the painting. If it doesn't work, simply copy and paste the youtube address listed). This is one of the strongest and most helpful videos in Schama's series and will be of great benefit in helping you to understand this extraordinarily influential artist and the effects of art within the French Revolution. Also note the questions posted in the previous post. This chapter will bring you into the early part of the 20th century and will provide a great background to our visit to the Yale art gallery next Wed.
