Figures in a Neo-Classic Landscape: 2: The Oath of the Horatii

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

by ANITA BROOKNER , who has made a special study of the work of Jacques Louis David
This celebrated painting by David, painted in 1784, is thought to mark the culmination of Neo-Classicism in France. Yet, Anita Brookner argues, it could be interpreted in several different ways. The Oath of the Horatii occupies a prominent place at the current Council of Europe Exhibition The Age of Neo-Classicism at the Royal Academy in London.
