NAPOLEON CROSSING the APLS (J.DAVID)

THE PAINTING THAT SHOWED A STRONGLY IDEALIZED VIEW OF

THE REAL CROSSING THAT NAPOLEON AND HIS ARMY MADE ACROSS THE APLS

THROUGH THE GREAT ST. BERNARD PASS IN MAY 1800.

OATH OF THE HORATII (J.DAVID)

IT WAS A LARGE PAINTING THAT DEPICTS A SCENE FROM A ROMAN

LEGEND ABOUT THE DISPUTE BETWEEN ROME AND ALBA LONGA. THE THREE

BROTHERS, ALL OF WHOM APPEAR WILLING TO SACRIFICE THEIR

LIVES FOR THE GOOD OF ROME, ARE SHOWN SALUTING THEIR FATHER WHO

HOLDS THEIR SWORDS OUT OF THEM\
