Also during the revolution it said that every man should be allowed to vote. Whereas during Napoleon reign he insisted that nobody should be allowed to vote.
David's work could be said to evoke the feelings prevalent at the time of the French Revolution, though it is best noted that even though a radical and friend of Robespierre during the Revolution, he had little say BEFORE it.

So mainstream in fact that he ended up being the painter of the Emperor Napoleon, so much for the Vive la revolution eh!?
