Jacques Louis David ja Prantsuse Revolutsioon
they investigate using cultural documentations and anthropology. Historians found out that
during the French Revolution, people who saw the painting would become more affectionate
towards the Revolution and the new Republic, and would see Marat as a role model.
(Vaughan,????????????????, p.56, 57)
Last but not least, the third martyr that David depicted was Joseph Bara. Bara was a young
boy, who anchored himself to an army fighting the opposers of the Revolution. He was
murdered, because he refused to give away two horses to the counterrevolutionaries. David
portrayed him as an innocent victim and therefore the painting of Bara was very different
from two previous martyr portrays. Bara is depicted as lying naked on the ground with a
national emblem in his hand. David did not paint the real story, but instead portrayed Bara as
being killed after being surrounded by enemies who demanded him to cry out `Long live the
King!'
