Oath of Horatii, David


The father make his sons take their lives in oath for the country. Plain architecture, figures realistic with some way of idealization. Linear perspective can be seen on floor. What makes it different is that the light comes to an end in the shadows so there's no more way
to go. Dedication and devotion is highly structured in three spaces, soldiers, father, women and family.
