David Napoleon at the Saint-Bernard Pass 3D Lenticular Bookmark Jacques-Louis David was a highly influential French painter in the Neoclassical style, considered to be the prominent painter of the era. In the 1780s his cerebral brand of history painting marked a change in taste away from Rococo frivolity toward a classical austerity and severity, chiming with the moral climate of the final years of the ancien régime. David later became an active supporter of the French Revolution and friend of Maximilien Robespierre, and was effectively a dictator of the arts under the French Republic. Imprisoned after Robespierre's fall from power, he aligned himself with yet another political regime upon his release, that of Napoleon I. It was at this time that he developed his 'Empire style', notable for its use of warm Venetian colours. David had a huge number of pupils, making him the strongest influence in French art of the 19th century, especially academic Salon painting. A devoted admirer and supporter of Napoleon Bonaparte, David painted the general with larger-than-life heroism, drama and color in “Napoleon Crossing the St. Bernard Pass.” 1801, Dominating French Revolution artwork, David was so impressed with Napoleon’s personality that he immortalized him in numerous paintings. A knight in Napoleon’s Legion of Honor until the military leader’s fall, David escaped to Brussels, continuing to paint and teach young artists. It's a practical, beautiful bookmark with superb 3D depth. Being made of plastic makes it durable and long lasting. A memorable and thoughtful gift to give. Each one measures 1-3/4" across wide and 3-1/3" tall.
