The Death of Marat is a 1793 painting by
Jacques-Louis David depicting the artist's friend and murdered French revolutionary leader,
Jean-Paul Marat. It was painted when David was the leading French Neoclassical painter, a
Montagnard, and a member of the revolutionary
Committee of General Security. Created in the months after Marat's death, the painting shows Marat lying dead in his bath after his murder by
Charlotte Corday on 13 July 1793. Art historian
T. J. Clark called David's painting the first modernist work for "the way it took the stuff of politics as its material, and did not transmute it".
