Explanation:

Jacques-Louis David was a famous French painter, who played also a political role in the crucial moments of French history.

In the first half of his career, he was a painter of the Rococo, and later on, his style became Neoclassical.

At first, he represented ancient, classical heroes. Later on, he started to paint more contemporary problems of the society and politics.

He supported the French Revolution, at first, later on he criticized it. When Napoleon came, he was also close to him.

Through his art, he represented heroes who have accomplished something new, revolutionary, making radical changes, and always leading others to victory.
