Tennis Court Oath

important in spreading the notion of democracy in France, but the event also provoked the notion of governmental change throughout Europe. The revolution would ultimately urge France to change its government to a democracy as a whole.

The Tennis Court Oath and the Storming of the Bastille were both very significant events for the French Revolution. During the past few years and the…

1), David exhibited another painting that, similarly to “The Oath of the Horatii,” used Roman history to stir revolutionary fervor: “The Lictors Bring Brutus the Bodies of His Sons.” David was originally commissioned by the monarchy to paint Coriolanus, an aristocratic leader, being restrained by his family from betraying Rome but, unannounced to both the government and Academy, he pointedly switched subject matter instead to “the story of [Brutus] whose devotion to Rome and to the cause of the…

I strongly believe that the events that took place in France from 1780-1812 help France and other nations progress to become a more stable democracy.

Robespierre was a very nice person and he helped defend the…

ability to discredit the couples collaborative achievements in both the arts and sciences. David’s controlled use of atmospheric light allowed him to direct the viewer’s gaze to each figure in the order he believed was necessary: first Marie-Anne, then Antoine-Laurent, and finally their surroundings.

David wanted France to snap out of its slow decline into decadence and instead enter a golden age. He believed France could achieve this by striving to be more like the Roman republic. At first, he stood by the side of the royal family, even offering to paint portraits of them. However, when the revolution began to take…

In this trial, the question the court is being asked to answer is whether Alex Cooper was responsible for his own injuries. Throughout this trial, the law applied was negligence. Negligence is broken down into four parts: duty, breach, causation, and damages. Due to the nature of this trial as a civil suit, the plaintiff had the burden of proof, meaning the burden to prove by the greater weight of the credible evidence.
