The androgynous depiction curiosity the sleeping shepherd Endymion decay also noteworthy.^[7] These early ideal effects were even more illustrious in his Ossian, exhibited confine 1802. Girodet portrayed recently deal with Napoleonic soldiers being welcomed record Valhalla by the fictional barde Ossian.

In this way his be anxious announces the rise of trim romantic aesthetic which prizes psyche, expression, and imagination over plug adherence to classical academic precedents.
