"Citizens and Kings", the new blockbuster show at the Royal Academy in London, is made up of an almost overpowering number of celebrated paintings and sculptures, even if one or two of these, such as Jacques-Louis David's Marat Assassiné, grow to be studio versions rather than the real thing.The show seeks to trace the move in attitudes into the human being personality that was set in motion by the North american and France Revolutions and the wars associated with these great political and public upheavals. It is, quite literally, a brief history lesson conducted with the aid of famous work of art, and to be thankful completely, you have to carry the historical put together in your head - not only the storyplot of how government authorities rose and fell, but the pattern of cultural change as well.
