The Oath of Horatii
The Oath of Horatii
1983, Enamel & acrylic/Canvas, Collection of Nigel Brown. Adaptation of a painting in The Louvre by Jaques-Louis David (circa 1800), depicting Horatii, a Greek Sage, sending young men off to battle. The figures in this picture, from left to right, are: Nigel Brown, George Baloghy, Graham Cornwell (all artists) and Hamish Keith (Art critic and commentator), implication being that Keith is sending the young struggling artists off to do battle with the art world. They have come with their means of transport.
