Timeline
Jacques-Louis David (1748–1825) lived at a time of political and social turmoil. Explore the events of his age in the timeline below. |

1816 David and his wife move to Brussels, where they are part of a large exile community. David concentrates on portraits, mythological scenes, and experimental drawings. |
||||
1819 David sells The Intervention of the Sabine Women and Léonidas at Thermopylae to the French state, assuring his position as one of France's greatest artists. Théodore Géricault makes a stir at the Salon with The Raft of the Medusa, which signals the rise of Romanticism.
