ABOUT THIS PIECE Jacques Louis David's Apollo And Diana Attacking The Children Of Niobe was created in 1772 and is in Dallas Museum of Art. The size of the work is 121,9 x 156,2 cm and is made of oil on canvas. Niobe, the queen of Thebes, shelters her youngest daughter from Apollo and Diana‘s arrows. The queen’s thirteen other children lie wounded or dead in the painting’s foreground. This violent scene, drawn from a 1st-century Roman poem, Ovid’s Metamorphoses, illustrates Niobe’s punishment for boasting of her own power and fertility and for refusing to pay homage to the mother of her attackers. Jacques-Louis David completed this painting when he was only twenty-four years old as part of his second bid to win the Prix de Rome, the ultimate prize for students in the French Royal Academy. David was deeply disappointed when the work was not given the top honor, and he subsequently attempted to starve himself to death. The Artist: Jacques-Louis David (1748 – 1825) was a French painter in the Neoclassical style, considered to be the preeminent painter of the era. In the 1780s his cerebral brand of history painting marked a change in taste away from Rococo frivolity toward classical austerity and severity and heightened feeling, harmonizing with the moral climate of the final years of the Ancien Régime.
