ABOUT THIS PIECE Jacques Louis David's Portrait of Pope Pius VII and Cardinal Caprara was created in 1808 and is in Philadelphia Museum of Art. The size of the work is 138,1 x 96 cm and is made of oil on panel. In late 1804 Napoleon forced Pope Pius VII to travel to Paris in order to preside over his coronation. This double portrait shows the Pope, his hand raised in blessing, with the French papal legate Cardinal Caprara standing at his side. David depicted these two figures in the same poses in his monumental Coronation of Napoleon and Josephine of 1804-7 (versions in the Louvre Museum and in the palace at Versailles). The artist thought it worthwhile to record how the Pope looked in this stressful moment, so he excerpted the figures from the larger canvas and repeated them on this panel. 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.
