安托万-洛朗·拉瓦锡（1743–1794年）和妻子（玛丽-安娜-皮埃尔莱特·包尔兹，1758–1836年）

Jacques Louis David French

1788年

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 633

这幅画是十八世纪最伟大的肖像画之一，作此画时的达维特被誉为法国新古典主义的先锋人物。拉瓦锡最为人所知的成就是他在氧气、火药和水的化学成分等方面的开拓性研究。1789年，他的理论发表在《化学基础论》一书中，其中的插图均出自他妻子之手，据信她曾是拉瓦锡的学生（她的一组绘画作品就放在左边的扶手椅上）。作为皇家火药局局长，拉瓦锡曾被卷入一场政治丑闻中，使他从1789年的巴黎沙龙展中撤回这幅画。尽管他对革命政权有贡献，但仍于1794年被送上了断头台。
