Where did David exile himself after Napoleon's fall from power?

  • Paris

  • Rome

  • London

  • Brussels

Answer

David exiled himself to Brussels after Napoleon's fall from power. In the wake of Napoleon's defeat at the Battle of Waterloo, David, a staunch supporter of the emperor, feared persecution from the restored Bourbon monarchy and sought refuge in Belgium. David lived in Brussels until his death in 1825, creating several notable works during his exile, including "The Death of Socrates" and "The Coronation of Napoleon."
