My art professor this semester took practically our entire class to tell the story of Charlotte and Marat and it was absolutely wonderful. Especially because of how important David was to the French Revolution, it's definitely a wild piece of that history
@Good_boy_gone_bald not arguing that the bloodshed stopped but by focusing the rage of the revolution on her she gave some folks a chance to escape. If you look at history you'll see people used the unrest to go across the channel to the British isles. Entire bloodlines owe her a debt of gratitude.
Thank you so much for saying this, Jacqui! (or do you prefer Anne) I notice your comments on many of my videos and they always make me happy. Thanks for being here!
As a French, thank you. Marat is still perceived as a hero by many, and in large part because of this painting. I never liked Marat and always felt sorry for Charlotte Corday
@ yeah, he was a journalist who wrote inflammatory pieces, just made the situation generally worse and so contributed to the Terror. I’m not a royalist or anything like that. My issue is that growing up I felt like there was a lot of misogyny embedded in that art work. Corday is universally hated in France but for what reason? Marat is not a hero. After she was executed, a man grabbed her head and slapped her on the cheek (he was sent to prison for that but still) and they performed an autopsy to check if she was a virgin because they didn’t believe her claim (she was, but not that it matters). I was once stopped in the Paris metro by an old lady, very middle class, feminist type, I was looking at a reproduction of the painting on the wall. She asked me who the man was in the painting and I said Marat and she asked me who the woman was, who had assassinated him and I couldn’t remember. She gave me a stern lecture on the subject which I never forgot. So that is to say, there are some people who side with Corday but they are a minority
Same. Jean-Paul Marat was celebrated as part of the worst factions of the reign of terror, and she and her group, the Girondin, recognized that the Reign of Terror had taken the Revolution into a place where it would destroy everything that they had fought for. And they were right! What happened after the terror ended? Napolean. She is the hero of this story and deserves to be remembered as such.
@@rakhelhartz-alvarez739 Good point! Think you may be right. Tbh. I wasn't continuously watching the screen as I was busy "multitasking" and figured I could listen to most of it as I'd studied the painting, its artist as well as Marat in a uni module on European revolutionary movements many moons ago . I'll have to watch it again properly, then maybe screenshot kitty and do a reverse image search :)
I'll never forget my art-history professor fan-girling over this painting in Brussels. It was the first painting I handled as a subject during a practicum. Sadly my professor died earlier this year. He would have loved your video. If you ever do something about Marcel Duchamps, he would have geeked out even more, as it was his greatest passion in life studying his work.
This painting is so personal....you can really tell that David deeply cared for Marat. Everything about it is striking, yet its so beautifully simple. Another informative, entertaining video! Loved it! Hope you are doing well, and Happy Holidays ❤
We need more heroines like Charlotte Corday. I learned from my history books at school that Marat had a nasty skin disease which would be temporarily relieved by bathing.Thus Marat in his bath= at his most vulnerable moment. David's painting once seen is never forgotten. He painted the livid skin to perfection.
I really enjoy the history aspect of your narratives. Using a piece of art around which you weave the storytelling of what was happening at the time is a brilliant way to combine both art and history. Thank you so much for all you do!
I've recognized the painting for 30 years, and never realized it was a murder. The bath, and the note, all seemed inline with a self-undoing. I didn't look any further.
This video was in my recommendations and since this is one of my favorite paintings I decided to watch. I’ve always been fascinated by the story surrounding Marat’s death… and so I absolutely loved your retelling especially the ending. That deserves a subscription and a Thanks… I love me some art with attitude. ✌🏽🎨
17:35 what a marvel this painting is, I love it! Fascinating way of storytelling, though! I hope that one day I’ll be able to create even one percent of the community you’ve managed to build! I’ve published my first video, we’ll see
This is the best analysis of this artwork on TH-cam 💯 As a side note, Marats treatment of Malassezia would have actually inflamed it. A good antifungal treatment is salicylic acid , made by boiling willow bark. And tea tree oil ( but as Australia has barely been explored back then, it was likely totally unknown to the French)
Who would have thought that a painting of a thin, pale, man taking a bath, whose life is barely hanging on as death is inevitable, due to the being murdered just seconds prior to this scene would be such a happy time in my morning? Art Deco has that power. Thank You for the new video.
The reason I found out about this piece was through the album “Deathconsciousness” by Have a Nice Life. Perfectly encapsulates the piece with themes of Nihilism and Dread
I love the Peter Brooks film of Marat/Sade! I once saw a production put on by inmates of a minimum-security prison in our area, and they did a terrific job.
I lived in Belgium in my late teens, and I remember seeing this painting for the first time in the National Museum. It's big. It's not as huge as the typical landscape, but it's wider than most portraits, and the emptiness to the viewer's right gave me a sense loss. We were also learning, in our high school art history class, about organizing subjects in triangles to draw the eye. My teacher pointed this painting out as a rare right triangle.
Really find your posts enjoyable and informative. Thank you for the time and effort you put into your work! Very cool indeed....Aloha. BTW....Happy Holidaze.
Thanks for covering this painting! I learned about it decades ago during my only art class. I saw it the summer of 2023 in Brussels and it really does seem to have its own aura in spite of or maybe bc of its stark simplicity.
I really enjoy these videos! Fun, witty, informative, and entertaining plus you have a very pleasant voice. I always look forward to seeing Art Deco release a new video. I think most of us subscribers don't know jack about art but you make it accessible and that's cool! Anyway, I'm quite fond of the channel and am really looking forward to the next installment. So until then please take care, be safe and thank you.
The Death of Marat is one of my favorite paintings, and I have always been a fan of David’s work. Your background made it even more spectacular. Can anyone not see the parallels in America today?
Thank you. I learn so much from your work-from art appreciation to history and philosophy-the video moves along nicely and the comedic satire helps keep the subject entertaining yet informative. A big thank you to you.
I love Jacques Louis David. Not necessarily his politics but his paintings. Marat was a ruthless killer and David a bit of an opportunist. David painted the aristocracy before the revolution and after the revolution ended he painted Napoleon. I see David as a scoundrel but a wonderful artist.
Dear Art Deco, as a 72 yr old woman, I must tell you that you are one of the most brilliant & charismatic narrators I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to!! Your knowledge & insight into your subjects is astoundingly touching & inspirational, as you so wonderfully bring their personalities to life! Also, your sprinkling of comedic humor is just perfection! Bravo, Dear One, to such a Brilliantly talented young woman with a keen mind!🥰🥰🥰
Interesting painting, I remember during my undergraduate days. Our lecturer assign us to recreate paintings from old Masters. My friend happen to choose this particular painting "The death of Marat" Since then anywhere I see this painting, it brings back memories 😊
Found your channel because of my recommendation, and i never knew how much of a painting can give so much of a story just by analyzing it through the details. Ate with this fun video, i love watching and simply being able to listen to learn history of people back then
Thank you for always calming me and sharing a piece of history behind artwork at the same time, your channel is so entertaining and I get so excited for your uploads 😊
My youngest brother as actually painted this image it hangs in the living room and it is stunning we all can't understand why he doesn't paint for a living... he my Son and myself have the art in our family uncle Peter was a famous painter thank you for sharing with us all 💜🙏💜
Beautiful painting but Marat and David were really bad borderline evil people who happily supported the death and suffering of others so karma much 😅 Charlotte Corday sounds like a really interesting person tho (her portrait is beautiful too)- i've heard about her before but no surprise history made her out to be "crazy". Don't know how I feel about vigilante justice but I still feel empathy for her can't imagine losing loved ones, seeing your home and the people around you in absolute turmoil chaos fear uncertainty being ripped apart, thinking that maybe if I take this person's life who's high up within the group who's causing it all that I can stop it, losing your life by execution for something countless other powerful people were doing and being praised for the sheer hypocrisy of it all, etc and at least with her she didn't get sick pleasure from it like Marat and David seem to 🫤 No matter how you look at it the terror was ugly, sad, and a not very proud moment within human history.
The Jacobins ended up turning on each other too. The Vendean uprising against the revolutionaries killed 200,000 in all. Most people have no idea how widespread the bloodshed was.
I don't know if it's true but I read it once but a man who witnessed Charlotte Corday being wheeled to the guillotine on a tumbril became so overcome by the scene and the angelic heroism of the woman that he shouted out in support of her throwing in his lot with her and then he was guillotined as well! Yes echoes of the Mangione case!
An excellent video, thank you. It's interesting that you uploaded it this week soon after a high profile murder that has inspired a lot of support for the perpetrator.
Even though I’ve given up on my own art. Your videos give back to me a small piece of the love that I have for art. Thank you so much for the work you put into your videos. It truly is appreciated.
Interesting to note that Charlotte Corday started out as a pro-revolutionary herself. When she saw how bad the revolution was she killed Marat to try stop the Terror she herself had supported. Brave woman.
This painting and the period of madness around it are riveting. Both stories of Marat and Corday up until this day are so different yet brought them to this place. thank you so much for this video it gives a quick history lesson around it. STANLEY LOOMIS "'Paris In the Terror" is an extensive history tome regarding the revolution.
My parents were interested in art history and always had big coffee table books filled with glossy colored pictures of paintings by the masters. This painting was included in all its glossy horrible glory, the bathtub ring of blood was particularly gruesome to my 8 year old eyes. The painting still gives me the creeps 50 years later.
Interesting that this came out whilst the Luigi Mangione case is unfolding. Lots of revolutions through history begin with assassinations, with people debating whether they’re a bad person or not.
My art professor this semester took practically our entire class to tell the story of Charlotte and Marat and it was absolutely wonderful. Especially because of how important David was to the French Revolution, it's definitely a wild piece of that history
Marat was definitely wild-he’d write out a bunch of long bloodthirsty hit lists and its one reason the French Revolution was such madness
I am convinced that Marie did save people.
@@aliciabell6688Marie?
Somebody had to do it.
@@aliciabell6688yeah it did, but even when he was the dead the bloodshed never ended so it was really in vain to be honest
@Good_boy_gone_bald not arguing that the bloodshed stopped but by focusing the rage of the revolution on her she gave some folks a chance to escape. If you look at history you'll see people used the unrest to go across the channel to the British isles. Entire bloodlines owe her a debt of gratitude.
Another mesmerizing peek into art history. I’m addicted to Art Deco.

HELL YEAH NEW ART DECO DROPPED!!!!
We all have to be living the same life I said the exact same thing

Woot!
Glad I'm not the only one who had that reaction 😊😊
Exactly ❤
As a French, thank you. Marat is still perceived as a hero by many, and in large part because of this painting. I never liked Marat and always felt sorry for Charlotte Corday
He is the one who encouraged the reign of terror right? (or whatever they called the mass guillotine killings was called)
I’m not far in the video
The revolutionaries not only went after royalty they also went after ANYONE who worked with royals or in their homes like servants. Yep nuts
Yes Morat 👎 … David 👎

What’s the name of the painting?

Excellent. And it's got a punchline, too. Thanks for covering this work!
He does have some pretty impressive guns for a guy of his time especially with a debilitating fungal infection. Great touch with that ending.

I know nothing about paintings but oh how i get giddy when your video pops up! 😊
Me too! :D

Art history for the unwashed masses!

arrowheads!
I was in the play Marat/Sade in college, and the director used this piece as part of the set and educated all of us regarding its history.
I love the Peter Brooks film of Marat/Sade! I once saw a production put on by inmates of a minimum-security prison in our area, and they did a terrific job.
Love the depth you reveal in these paintings! It’s given me a new appreciation for art. Love the history lessons as well 👍👍👍
Your expertise, eye for detail and humor are very much a delight ❤

Borderline evil? They qualify as evil in my book.

I loved how you explained the back of this painting. Thanks!
Thank you for this fascinating and witty look at history (which is probably repeating again.)
OMG that got dark fast, 35 seconds!!!👍👍👍👍
I notice that his skin problems are NOT shown in the painting.
I think David gave his friend, Marat, the relief from his skin problems he couldn't escape in life.
All hail Marie-Anne Charlotte de Corday d'Armont! Doing what needed to be done when others just went along.
