Description
English: Lucius Junius Brutus, one of the founders of the Roman Republic, sentenced his own sons to death for high treason, according to laws he had written himself. This oil sketch is a study for a larger painting that was completed in the year of the French revolution, 1789. The light falls on Brutus' wife and daughters, while he sits transfixed in the shade to the left. Art historians have discussed if (and how) the dramatic theme comments on conflicts between political goals and individual rights during the revolution.
Svenska: Lucius Junius Brutus, en av den romerska republikens grundare, dömde sina egna söner till döden för landsförräderi. Brutus hade själv stiftat lagen. Ljuset faller över hans hustru och döttrar, medan Brutus själv sitter orörlig i skuggan till vänster. Under 1780-talet skapade David några av den nyklassiska konstens främsta verk. Typiska ämnen var svåra eller olösliga moraliska konflikter, som i detta fall mellan plikterna mot familj och fosterland. Den här oljeskissen är en studie till en större målning, färdig 1789.
