After delving into the martyr myth as imagined by the revolutionary in his own words, we look at commemorative objects created after his death, including David’s Marat’s Death (1793). Then we see how Vik Muniz recast Marat as a man of our time, in the guise of a garbage collector in one of Rio de Janeiro’s largest ghettos.
