The foundation of the mystical Holy revolutionary Marat

(Posted on this blog on April 3, 2009.)
Marat, "the Friend of the People", is assassinated by Charlotte Corday on July 13, 1793. In just one month, Jacques-Louis David runs the table "assassiné Marat."
After the death of such a "friend", David did expose her body in the Convent of the Cordeliers, that the "people" he surrender the honors necrophiliacs. And he did stay the heart of the deceased from the ceiling of the meeting room of the convent. The Sacred Heart of Marat still illuminating the revolutionary diatribes. David, with his imagination artistic course, was the great stage director of the French Revolution, the organizer also celebrations in the Champ de Mars, forcing, for example, dancers from the Opera to impersonate almost naked to the "Goddess of Reason" . (Later, Albert Speer would do him in agglomerations Nazi Zeppelin Field in Nuremberg.)
David would be the inventor of the "cult of martyrdom" of revolution, religion in which, incidentally, exceeded the Nazis.
Marat was however not the first "martyr" of the French Revolution, but Le Peletier de Saint-Fargeau, also died in 1793, of which David was also very fast (then there was half the picture ... propaganda), the painting "Le Peletier in his deathbed," the pictorial essay and ideological "Marat Assassin", which invested the composition of Le Peletier. But David did expose the canvas to the side of Marat in the Convention hall. The "proto" and the Great Martyr martyr who was crucified by the knife Corday.
Genius, what remedy is left but to accept it, David was recycling the Christic, paradoxically, during the most de-Christianizing of the Revolution of yore, for the benefit of it, and so set the paraphernalia of necrophilia "revolutionary" further, with Lenin's mummy included.
Here is my redeeming blood, is what David's Marat says, here is my body. Object of devotion, mystical ecstasy heightened by the "Friend of the people" with a pen in one hand and a handwritten sheet in the other, died in the "performance of duty" until the last minute. (Inspiration, no doubt, for that you type in Cuba, he says, a "reflection" provided it appears, at last, a Charlotte Corday!)
Oh, David, what a bastard you were. Secularize religion atheist revolution in full, thus legitimizing it. Converted to "Christianity." And your intuition
pictorial strict sense, was impeccable: idealized further Marat, whose figure contrasts in that fund clean and timeless. Oh, came the "modern" visual, what remedy, again, and it was you who captured the form of "civil religion" as advocated by Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
