(More customer reviews)I ordered this poster in the 13x19 size, and (hand to god) it looks like someone took a medium sized .jpg off the internet of the David painting and stretched it to fit an 11x17 sheet of paper, then sold it here. Really, Socrates' face is so pixelated, it looks like it has about 20 pixels total. The pixels are the size of a small remote control button. I am embarrassed to ask my school to repay me for this purchase.

Jacques-Louis David (30 August 1748 ? 29 December 1825) was a highly influential 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 chiming with the moral climate of the final years of the ancien régime. He later developed his 'Empire style', notable for its use of warm Venetian colours. David had a huge number of pupils, making him the strongest influence in French art of the early 19th century, especially academic Salon painting.
