Painting
1.Jean Louis Theodore
Gericault
His masterpieces were
energetic, powerful,
brilliantly colored, and
tightly composed (putting
together).
1.Jean Louis Theodore Gericault
was a French painter and
lithographer, whose best-known
painting is The Raft of the Medusa.
Despite his short life, he was one of the
pioneers of the Romantic movement.
The Raft of Medusa
The Raft of Medusa
depicts a dramatic moment and all the
emotions human beings can feel in such a
situation: fear, pain, hope, madness. To do this
painting Géricault studied for a long time the
effects of the refraction of light on the human
body, and for this reason, he drew a lot of
preparatory sketches.
Charging Chasseur
Charging Chasseur
This painting is symbolic of French Romanticism and
has a motif similar to Jacques Louis David's Napoleon
Crossing the Alps (see Related Paintings below).
However, in this piece, there are various non-classical
characteristics such as its dramatic diagonal
arrangement and vigorous paint handling.
It features a Napoleonic cavalry officer ready to
attack, slightly looking back, as though to command
the others to charge with him. A triumphant and proud
Insane Woman
Insane Woman- Unlike Neoclassicism, the focus of
Romanticism was to unleash the imagination and
embrace the darker side of humanity. Gericault,
like other Romantic artists, had an interest in
portraying a person while revealing their emotions
and the intentions of their mind.
Gericault believed that a person’s true character could
be revealed in a person’s face especially in their
moments of death or in madness. The “psychic facts”
of the Insane Woman are represented by depicting the
woman looking away from the audience with her eyes
red from suffering. The artwork communicates to the
audience that she is not a typical idealized because
she is not young and beautiful, yet Gericault idealizes
her through her composed emotions. By doing so
Gericault reveals another side of humanity that has
gone unseen since the Greek Hellenistic period
