Abstract (en)
Argues that Jacques-Louis David's painting, Oath of the Horatii, 1785 (Paris, Louvre) is among the founding documents of modern painting. Examines David's role as a reformer of pictorial conventions, and asserts that David's Oath provided painting with a "constitution", a metaphorical equivalent to the American constitution of 1789 and the several French constitutions of the 1790s.
