The correct answer is; David used smooth brushstrokes to enhance the lifelike quality of the figures; Delacroix used expressive brushstrokes to create drama.
Further Explanation:
Since there were no statements given and none I could find researching, I researched the artists and their differences. For the painting "Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People" Delacroix had used expressive brushstrokes that created drama to the painting. The painting was made to remember the Revolution of July that occurred in 1830. He was a leader in making the freely brushed colors prominent.
The painting "Neoclassical artist David's Oath of the Horatii" is one of the most successful paintings in the world. It was finished in 1784 and still on display today at the world famous "Louvre" in Paris. In this painting he used the smooth strokes and this made the figures in the painting appear to be lifelike. The painting is done with oil on canvas and looks like a picture of a real scene and not a painting.
