What style is characterized by Jacques-Louis David's use of warm Venetian colours?

  • Rococo style

  • Impressionist style

  • Empire style

  • Neoclassical style

Answer

The Empire style, exemplified by Jacques-Louis David's works, is characterized by its warm Venetian colors, inspired by the flourishing Venetian school of painting. This approach marked a departure from the prevailing Neoclassical preference for cool, muted tones, embracing instead a vibrant and lively color palette. David's use of warm colors breathed new life into the Neoclassical movement and set the stage for subsequent stylistic developments in European art.
