If you are at all familiar with the French revolution you may have come across the painting by Jacques Louis David called ‘The Death of Marat', one of the most famous works of art concerning a revolutionary event. The painting itself depicts the moment of Marat’s assasination; he lies in his bath, holding in his hand a letter, his chest pierced, bleeding, stabbed by Charlotte Corday just moments earlier. It is a gorgeous painting, but also a piece of revolutionary propaganda and a true story, and it speaks volumes both in what is shown and what is absent. In this episode find out more about Marat, Why Charlotte stabbed him and what happened to his bathtub. So come with me and let’s start by going to the Louvre to see what we can learn from this painting.
