Théodore Géricault

Théodore Georault is a French artist whose paintings and prints draw historical themes. As a pioneer of French romantic paintings, he influenced painters like Eugen Delacroix and Gustave Courbet. Géricault's paintings are often political, faced with poverty, Spanish Inquisition, and slave trade. "With brushes we are just color, only imagination creates color," he said. His work from 1818 to 1919, the medusa raft is a symbolic example of the honorable sky and eerie realism of his respected meditation. Born in Rouen, France on September 26, 1791, he studied under the guidance of Pierre Narcis Guerin and Carl Vernet in the neoclassical style he taught at the then university. Géricault's work was dismissed and his work was criticized with details of parisalon and an unpleasant theme. The artist died of illness at the age of 32 in Paris, France, on 26th January 1924. Today, his work is housed in the Chicago Art Museum, the Louvre in Paris, the Metropolitan Museum in New York, and the National Museum of Fine Arts, London.

Jean-Louis-André-Théodore Georçault (born September 26, 1791, France, Rouen) died in Paris on January 26, 1824, and the painter had a great influence on the development of French romantic art . . Géricault is an avid knight in Playboy, whose dramatic paintings reflect his gorgeous and passionate character. During his studies Géricault studied the English tradition of sports art from the French painter Carle Vernet and developed a wonderful facility to capture the movement of animals. He also mastered the character and composition of classical figures under the guidance of scholar Baron Guérin Pierre-Narcissse. Another Guerlain student, Eugene Delacroix, was deeply influenced by Jerichau and found the point of his major art of his case.

Delacroix was his child in this century and was influenced by the painter Théodore Georault and British painter Richard Parkes Bonington, Romanticism of Polish born composer and pianist Frédéric Chopin and French writer George Sand. However, he did not participate in the romantic exercise battle initiated by Victor Hugo, Hector Berlioz and others. Delacroix debuted in the Paris Salon in 1822. He exhibited his first masterpiece Dante and Virgil in hell that is one of France's 19th century romantic painting development landmarks. Hell's Dante and Virgil are inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy, but its tragic emotions and powerful characters are reminiscent of their rich colors representing the influence of Peter Paul Rubens. Between the same time of Delacroix, Jerichau was a close friend of a young painter and it was important before he suddenly died in 1824.
