Jacques-Louis DAVID Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier and his Wife 1788

Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825), est un peintre français né à Bruxelles. Il est considéré comme le chef de file du mouvement néo-classique, dont il représente le style pictural. Il opère une rupture avec le style galant et libertin de la peinture rococo du XVIIIe siècle représentée à l'époque par François Boucher et Carl Van Loo, et revendique l’héritage du classicisme de Nicolas Poussin et des idéaux esthétiques grecs et romains, en cherchant, selon sa propre formule, à « régénérer les arts en développant une peinture que les classiques grecs et romains auraient sans hésiter pu prendre pour la leur ».

Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825) was a French painter in the Neoclassical style, considered to be the preeminent painter of the era. In the 1780s his cerebral brand of history painting marked a change in taste away from Rococo frivolity toward a classical austerity and severity, heightened feeling harmonizing with the moral climate of the final years of the Ancien Régime.

Hilaire Germain Edgar de Gas, dit Edgar Degas (1834-1917) dans la même ville, est un artiste peintre, graveur, sculpteur et photographe, naturaliste et impressionniste français. Si Degas est un membre fondateur du groupe des impressionnistes, son œuvre est si varié par ses thèmes et sa pratique qu'il ne les rejoint pas dans leurs traits les plus connus. Sa situation d’exception n’échappe pas aux critiques d’alors, souvent déstabilisées par son avant-gardisme, qui fait encore, aujourd’hui, l’objet de nombreux débats auprès des historiens d’art.

He is especially identified with the subject of dance; more than half of his works depict dancers.

He was a superb draftsman, and particularly masterly in depicting movement, as can be seen in his rendition of dancers, racecourse subjects and female nudes. His portraits are notable for their psychological complexity and for their portrayal of human isolation.
