The gesture at the centre of the group

The Death of Socrates places the seated central figure among people responding with different postures and expressions. His raised hand and the offered cup establish a clear focus. The severe architecture and low bed keep the setting orderly around the more varied movements of the surrounding figures.

A figure, a letter and a plain wall

The Death of Marat sets the slumped body against a large dark background, with a wooden box close to the foreground. The pale cloth and paper form a small group of light surfaces. Their sparse arrangement makes each visible object particularly prominent within the otherwise stripped-back scene.

Two sitters beside scientific objects

Portrait of Monsieur de Lavoisier and His Wife groups the standing and seated figures near a red-covered table carrying glass instruments and papers. The woman’s pale dress opens against the darker interior. Their different orientations connect them to one another and to the carefully arranged objects, giving the portrait a shared setting and activity.

The Academic collection extends the historical compositions, while portraits and people allows closer comparison of pose, clothing and the objects placed around a sitter.
