Of course, you know this painting.
But can you name at least ten things in the image that are painstakingly accurate, even though this scene never happened exactly as depicted?
Do you understand David’s historical theme, and how he achieved it?
Is this image propaganda, or is it one of the greatest paintings ever–or both?
Find out in History Through Art for Adults, coming this fall to HistoryAtOurHouse! The program website will be up this coming Monday, with a full range of information about the curriculum and various registration options. Look for it!

Parent Reviews of the HistoryAtOurHouse Program
"I love having one subject that I can learn along side the kids, without having to be the primary teacher!"
--Stephanie D, Michigan
"The kids are loving it. Keep up the great work! I really like the integration of Geography, literature and art. Very nice!"
--Cheryl H, Alabama
"The lectures are appropriate for the multiple ages in our home school. When we listen as a family, everyone takes away something important."
--Debra R, New York
"I wanted to let you know that my son is totally loving the course. He finishes it before the month is done and is so anxious for more that he listens to parts of it again. Thanks so much!"
--Rachel B, Oregon
"Thanks for this flexible product! We got behind, but were able to catch up because the past lessons are always available.
--Carmen R, Washington
