History painter

A history painter is not only a painter of historical motifs but depicts, in
a "grand" style, man in general, and particularly the great events of Greek
and Roman fable and history, the capital subjects of scripture history, a
scene from a great literary work, or a famous event in the life of a baroque
potentate. The subject commonly ought to be either some eminent instance of
heroic action or heroic suffering, with characters painted in classical poses.

In academic theory, history painting is the noblest form of art.
