The Oath of the Horatii (1785) by Jacques-Louis David provides an idealized story which illustrates the nobility of putting civic duty before personal preference. In its emphasis of republican values, rather than the divine rights of the monarchy, and in its promotion of reason rather than emotion, it clearly reflects the principles of the Age of Enlightenment and heralds the era of modern art to come.
