“The Oath of the Horatii” Clock - Art Talk
Edouard, expert of our Rive Gauche gallery, here presents you the fascinating history of “The Oath of the Horatii” Clock.
“The Oath of the Horatii” by Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825) is undoubtedly one of the most famous paintings of the neoclassicism. The painting had such an influence that even 30 years after its creation, it was still considered as an artistic reference.
Claude Galle for instance, master bronzier during the French empire period, has elaborated this splendid clock model following David’s composition. The interpretation in sculptural figures of painted personages gives us a new angle to appreciate this masterpiece of European art history, while the clock itself remains a treasure.
