“The Sabine Women” shown with a mirror and a pamphlet
The painting was shown at the Palais du Luxembourg and then at the Salon in the Louvre; David had a large mirror hung before it so that visitors saw themselves against the battle, and each visitor was handed a pamphlet explaining his intention. The showing became a political event.

Declines the post of “painter of the government”
Bonaparte named David “painter of the government” by special decree, but the artist, defending his independence, declined the post.
