De Meesterwerken: 'Marat not represented how he really was'

It's a classic from the French revolution: 13 July 1793: the fanatic politician and journalist Marat, from the Robespierre camp, was killed by Charlotte Corday, who was a moderate. In David's work, Marat is respresented as a martyr who gave his life for the sake of the people. You can admire the painting at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts.

Our city is home to an incalculable amount of museums and galleries, all housing their very own masterpieces. Every week, enthusiastic art lovers show us their favourite piece and tell us why they're so moved.
