Popis:	On 20 June 1789, the members of the newly-established National Assembly swore the famous Tennis Court Oath: not to separate until they had given the polity a new constitution. This chapter examines Jacques-Louis David’s ambitious—and never finished—attempt to capture this revolutionary moment. It inquires into how his Tennis Court Oath allows and invites one to sense the nation and its sovereignty. It does so by considering the Oath as, in turn, Monument, Portrait, and Tableau.
