TMA
The Neoclassical World
This assignment relates to Block 3 of the course (20 marks).
Question
In an essay of about 1,200 words, provide a philosophical and artistic analysis of Jacques-Louis David's painting entitled "The Death of Socrates" 1787 (Colour plate 41).
Student Guidance
In answering this question, you need to remind yourself of the historical and political con (section 6 of Units 16 and 17 in Block 3 The Neoclassical World) during which David worked. You should consider Rousseau's influence on David by reviewing some of Rousseau's ideas as outlined in his Social Contract (Sections 1 and 3 of Units 18 and 19 in Block 3 The Neoclassical World; extract B1 Rousseau, The Social Contract in Resource Book 2). You will also have to concentrate your discussion on the issue of style (i.e. features of a painting's form); this is best done by highlighting the Neoclassical style of David and by considering aspects such as colour and light, the choice and arrangement of s and figures and the expressions, gestures and poses of figures. Unit 20, entitled "Art, History and Politics: David" will prove to be of great significance to your discussion here. You can also make use of Brookner's chronology of David (extract C4) in Resource Book 2. You can use different sources to help you; however, it is of the utmost importance to any words or ideas that are not your own.
