The sort of 'political classicism' described by Mark was
also characteristic of the period of the French Revolution,
as examplified for instance in the paintings of Jacques-Louis
David, starting with his 1784 painting, "Oath of the Horatti"
or his 1789 painting, "The Lictors Bring to Brutus the Bodies 
of His Sons."
