Belisarius

Belisarius is a Jacques-Louis David oil painting. Jacques Louis David was a famous French artist from the 18th and 19th century. Jacques Louis David painted in the Neoclassical style which was common and popular at that time right across France. Jacques Louis David and Napoleon had a close relationship for many years during the artist's height of fame. Napoleon respected the quality of David's work and encouraged him to join him on a visit to Egypt, but that was declined due to the artist's age. By this stage, Jacques Louis David had enough confidence in his understudies whom he had taught well in order to send them instead in his place, even on such a prestigious trip.
