Art Inspired by The French Revolution. There are hundreds of paintings, sketches, and comics influenced by the French Revolution and especially Napoleon Bonaparte. Many of the paintings were painted by one artist, in particular. Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825) was a neoclassical artist who was born in Paris, France.
Seurat took to heart the color theorists' notion of a scientific approach to painting. He believed that a painter could use color to create harmony and emotion in art in the same way that a musician uses counterpoint and variation to create harmony in music.he Seurat family moved to 136 boulevard de Magenta (now 110 boulevard de Magenta) in 1862 or 1863. His father, Antoine Chrysostome Seurat, originally from Champagne, was a former legal official who had become wealthy from speculating in property, and his mother, Ernestine Faivre, was from Paris.
