Question

The leaders of the French Revolution admired Roman civic virtues. ______________ became the official style of the Revolution and Jacques-Louis David its official artist.

Answer 1

Answer:

Neoclassicism became the official style of the Revolution and Jacques-Louis David its official artist.

Explanation:

Neoclassicist art focused on themes related to Roman and Greek mythology, as well as History. It used sober colors, clean style, and clarity of form. The male nu.d.e was extolled and, as the name of the movement suggests, the classical arts were an inspiration and a point of reference. Jacques-Louis David was the main name in France associated with this style, becoming an influence for several other painters. David was a supporter of the Revolution and had the ability to become allies with almost anyone who was in power.
