Jean-Paul Marat was a renowned doctor in London until he returned to France in 1777. He served as a physician to various aristocrats while performing scientific experiments in his spare time. Although his paper on electricity received accolades from the Royal Academy of Rouen in 1783, he was never elected to the Academy of Sciences.

Jean-Paul Marat became a delegate to the National Convention in 1792 after scathingly denouncing the National Assembly for refusing to remove King Louis XVI. He became popular among Parisians for supporting tax reforms and new state-sponsored programs. The conservative Girondin faction despised Marat and arraigned him on political charges in 1793, but he was acquitted.
