"David, Delacroix, and Revolutionary France: Drawings from the Louvre"

From the French Revolution in 1789 until the establishment of the Second Empire in 1852, France was pretty much in a constant state of war and political upheaval—a condition that the greatest painters of the period certainly noticed, and alluded to in their art. The 80 drawings here—by David, Prud'hon, Ingres, Géricault, Delacroix and Corot, to name a few—represent some of the greatest works on paper from this turbulent time.
