DAVID, Jacques-Louis. Decret de la Convention Nationale, Du 29 mars 1793... relatif au don fait par David, d'un tableau representant Michel Lepelletier sur son lit de mort.Saint-Jean-d'Angély, J.B. Josserand, 1793 4to. 244x198 mm. 4 pages. Good state of preservation. Rare plate, important source of art history. Les Derniers Moments de Michel Lepeletier is a painter's homage to the revolutionary assassinated for voting for the death of King Louis XVI. The painting forms with The Death of Marat a diptych that was installed in the meeting room of the National Convention. Removed in 1795 and entrusted to the artist, who kept it until his death in Brussels, the painting was sold by his family to the revolutionary's daughter, Louise Suzanne de Mortefontaine. After this sale the painting disappeared, the most likely hypothesis being that it was destroyed by the daughter who wanted to make her father's revolutionary past disappear by destroying the painting and the engravings that were made from it. The painting is evidenced only by a drawing by Anatole Desvosge and a print by Tardieu that partially escaped destruction. The plaque also contains David's speech to the National Convention, March 29, 1793, in which he explains the painting's significance. 4to. 244x198 mm. 4 pp. Good condition.
