FEBRUARY 11 | The Rise of Neo Classicism and the Work of Jacques-Louis David In the hands of Jacques-Louis David, Neoclassicism became a force for Enlightenment-inspired social and political change, and this talk traces how his major works both reflected and helped shape the evolving ideals of the French Revolution. FEBRUARY 18 | Revolutionary Fever: Jacques-Louis David and His Students In this lecture, we will trace how Jacques-Louis David, an ardent Jacobin who voted for the king’s execution, drew on classical traditions to cast revolutionary events in the language of heroic history, while also examining the artists in his circle who ultimately broke from their master to create sensuous, exotic paintings that captured the era’s emotional intensity. FEBRUARY 25* | Power and Style: Napoleon Bonaparte and Joséphine de Beauharnais In this lecture, we will explore the intertwined lives of Joséphine de Beauharnais and Napoleon Bonaparte—tracing how, in the volatile world of the post-Revolutionary era, Joséphine rose as an influential arbiter of fashion and taste while Napoleon skillfully used art, style, and public imagery to craft his imperial identity and consolidate power across Europe.
