Art by its nature is a subject of the philosophical, social, economic, political or religious context surrounding its creator. More often than not, a work of art addresses a specific topic or somewhat revolves around a particular person. Therefore, it is impossible to separate the context of a piece of painting, either historical or cultural, to its intrinsic value or the artwork's meaning.

This essay highlights various pieces of art and their relationship to particular cultural, political, economic, or social settings.

At the end of the 18th century, the idea of a revolution started to appear and spread throughout the French society. After years of a significant population growth, the numbers rose up to 26 million (Smitha, 2002-15), but the production of food remained the same. Periods of starvation and France going bankrupt due to the imprudence of the royal family caused tension, especially at the lowest socioeconomic layers, and eventually resulted in the French Revolution.
