In the video "The Power of Art", it featured a famous artist named Jacques-Louis David. During the French Revolution his paintings emerged as not only a way to express his voice in the war, but a way to keep his stake in the French government. Although his motives may seem simple, the narrator exposes his ideas and work as a propagandist move. His thesis implies that his work was a way to express his bias on different situations in the French Revolution.
When looking at the picture above and noticing the thesis the narrator implied, you notive that the painters bias come out at you! The picture implies that Robespiere (The highest one) is displayed as almost superior to all. He has the background characters almost haling before him. It's propagandist because he brings about a misleading idea of Robespiere.
