ABOUT THIS PIECE Jacques-Louis David's Oath of the Horatii was created in 1786 and the painting is in Toledo Museum of Art Ohio. The original size of the work is 130,2 x 166,7 cm and is made of oil on canvas. In 1784 Louis XVI commissioned from Jacques-Louis David a life-size depiction of the ancient Roman story of the Horatii family pledging to fight the Curiatii. In a composition inspired by classical relief sculpture, the three Horatii brothers of Rome swear an oath before their father. They vow to fight to the death against their three cousins, the Curiatii of Alba Longa, in order to settle a dispute between the two cities with minimum bloodshed. Their tense stances contrast with the fluid contours of the women, slumped in grief and resignation. The Artist: Jacques-Louis David (1748 – 1825) was a French painter in the Neoclassical style, considered to be the preeminent painter of the era. In the 1780s his cerebral brand of history painting marked a change in taste away from Rococo frivolity toward classical austerity and severity and heightened feeling, harmonizing with the moral climate of the final years of the Ancien Régime.
