Jacques-Louis David's paintings, particularly "The Death of Socrates" and "The Oath of the Horatii," embody the ideals of the French Revolution through their emphasis on patriotism, sacrifice, and civic virtue. His works often glorify self-sacrifice for the greater good, aligning with revolutionary principles of loyalty to the state and the fight against tyranny. The use of dramatic lighting and heroic figures also serves to inspire viewers, echoing the revolutionary call for a new social order based on reason and equality. Overall, David's art serves as a powerful visual manifesto of the revolutionary spirit.
