The Oath of the Horatii by Jacques Louis David. \u003cp\u003eThis painting was commissioned by the Administrator of Royal Residences in 1784 and exhibited at the 1785 Salon under the title The Oath of the Horatii, between their Father's Hands.  The story was taken from Titus-Livy.  We are in the period of the wars between Rome and Alba, in 669 B.C. It has been decided that the dispute between the two cities must be settled by an unusual form of combat to be fought by two groups of three champions each.  The two groups are the three Horatii brothers and the three Curiatii brothers.  The drama lay in the fact that one of the sisters of the Curiatii, Sabina, is married to one of the Horatii, while one of the sisters of the Horatii, Camilla, is betrothed to one of the Curiatii.  Despite the ties between the two families, the Horatii's father exhorts his sons to fight the Curiatii and they obey.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLimited edition of 200 giclee canvas prints. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Image size 36 inches x 26 inches (91cm x 66cm)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military Aviation Art Prints","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54135065510221,"sku":null,"price":500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/5449\/9149\/files\/2026NEWgit6500.jpg?v=1781872841","url":"https:\/\/militaryaviationartprints.com\/products\/the-oath-of-the-horatii-by-jacques-louis-david-gl","provider":"Military Aviation Art Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
