"It is very rare to find artists who have played real political roles. This is, however, true of David (Jacques-Louis David, 1748-1825), who lived through the most eventful period in all French history, from the Ancien Régime to the restoration. He was a deputy to the Convention, voted for the death of the King, became a member of the Comité de Sû^reté Générale and for a time inspired the cultural policy of the country." -- Book jacket
