The dramas that played out in Jacques-Louis David´s 18th century studio provide the backdrop for Kathryn Calley Galitz's examination of works by David and a constellation of his most gifted students, including Gérard, Girodet and Gros, who became the leading artists of their generation. This lecture is presented in conjunction with the exhibition Antiquity Revived: Neoclassical Art in the Eighteenth Century, on view at the MFAH through May 30.
