A. No, he was of a wealthy merchant family - merchants were not nobility. "David was born into the family of a wealthy Parisian merchant on August 30, 1748. When the boy was about 10 years old his father, Louis-Maurice, died after a pistol duel. David's two uncles, Francois Buron (1731-1818) and Jacques- Francois Desmaisons (c.1720-89) who were both architects and building contractors, took care of the boy's upbringing."

A. Ooh, tough one. I'd have to say one of the following (can't decide): 1. The picture/video of "tankman" at the 1989 Tiananmen Square uprising. To me it represents man's courage, folly, distaste for oppression, and determination, all qualities that drive history. 2. The panel depicting Akhenaten with his family ( - shows the concepts of love, family, power, the divine all in one. 3. Stonehenge. Shows how we've always been fixated with the night sky, and how long we've been trying to figure out the universe around us.
