ON MILITIA AND TRAGEDY- REVIEW ON DRAWINGS: GERICAULT:
ReplyDeleteI came across this interesting and useful app for the drawing students and fans of His art.
When talking about Theodore Gericault, it would be hard to distance from military themes and images of horses, subject that he returned to every now and then throughout his short career. His most notable success was a painting called The Raft of the Medusa which was actually inspired by the scandalous news about a captain leaving his crew and passengers to die in the middle of the sea. His work is a fusion of his studies as a young painter who took inspiration from Rubens, Titian, Michelangelo and other classical painters. Combining the turbulent drama, he was a pioneering influence for the Romantic Movement.
