- | [[Jacques-Louis David]] 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 of France|Napoleon I]]. It was at this time that he developed his '[[Empire style]]', notable for its use of warm [[Venice|Venetian]] [[colour]]s. David had a huge number of [[pupil]]s, making him the strongest influence in [[French art of the 19th century]], especially academic [[Paris Salon|Salon]] painting. | + | |
