About the piece
Painted in 1788, this monumental work by Jacques-Louis David captures the intellectual and personal partnership between the father of modern chemistry, Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier, and his wife, Marie-Anne. The composition is a triumph of Neoclassical style, balancing the sharp precision of scientific equipment with the soft textures of period fashion and the dramatic weight of the red velvet table covering.
