This painting has been showing for me up a lot recently, specifically in music I have recently started listening to.
It is referenced in the album cover of Andrew Bird's new album, My Finest Work Yet.
A subsection is also used in the album art for Deathconsciousness by Have A Nice Life.
Probably a case of Baader-Meinhof, lol
Interesting to learn the history and context of the painting. I had always assumed it was a painting of suicide.

deathconsciousness is too good😭

I was going to comment about Andrew Bird but thank you for doing it for me! I love that album so so so much, especially Sisyphus. I love this channel and try to watch every video but I totally clicked on this one just because of Andrew Bird

Thank you for covering The Death of Marat. I find David's body of work utterly captivating and sometimes disturbing.

Whenever I see this painting, I always think of Peter Weiss' play 'Marat/Sade'. Thank you for reminding me of what David was doing.

[@cetanacetana8265]

and the great film adaptation of Marat/Sade by Peter Brook.

You don’t mention the reason for the assassination or what Marat was doing I think they’re pretty important facts

may I ask for some insight about your sources? I would like to research this work in more detail...

Poor Marat in your bathtub seat,
your life on this planet is near complete.
Closer, and closer, to you death creeps,
while there on her bench Charlotte Corday sleeps.
Poor Marat, if she slept too late,
while dreaming of fairy-tale heads of state,
maybe your sickness would disappear.
Charlotte Corday would not find you here.
Poor Marat, stay wide awake,
and be on your guard for the people's sake.
Stare through the failing evening light,
for this is the evening before the night.
-- Peter Weiss, _The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade_

i think you might have watched oversimplified too much.

[@willmickel71]

I didn’t oversimplify. Marat endorsed and demanded the mass murder of hundreds of thousands of French citizens. Corday saved thousands of lives.

[@ulkuculerocaktakalms8170]

@@willmickel71i meant the channel "oversimplified". marat only targeted priests ans aristocrats. the white terror caused more destruction and loss of lives than the national convention in 93-94.

[@willmickel71]

@@ulkuculerocaktakalms8170 Yes, this video didn’t explain why Corday killed Marat. One would walk away thinking she was mentally unstable rather than fearing the mass murder of her fellow citizens.

@@willmickel71 i did understand what you meant and i am saying that the "fellow citizens" were the filth of an old and rotten regime.

All these Reactionaries stealth defending the monarchy in the comments; long live Robespierre, long live the Jacobins, long live the Revolution, down with the divine right of Kings!

"stealth defending the monarchy"? Are you stealth defending the monarchy by acting like a deranged tankie?
