Jacques-Louis David

"Show some courtesy! I must perfectly capture the death of such a hero to the people! I need to focus!"

―Jacques Louis David to Arno Dorian.

Jacques Louis David (30 August 1748 – 29 December 1825) was a famous French painter of the Neoclassical era. During the French Revolution, he painted the scene of Jean-Paul Marat's death in the Sorbonne district of Paris at his medicinal bath, claiming that he needed to capture the death of such a hero to the people. The Assassin Arno Dorian investigated Marat's death shortly after a murderer killed him, and David briefly spoke with him.
