1800 Era-Lisa Marie Williams Theodore Gericault-1800’s Chapter 15 The 1800’s marked a very romantic and dratic era for these artists. The time was full with politics, romance and desperation. Artists like these were able to express themselves and talk a little about what they time felt like. The danger in those days were the spoken words. In these artists were to express themselves verbally, they may have been dealt with death. But due to having the foresight and God given talent, they allowed us in this way. Thanks to their wonderful pieces of art, we can look back hundreds of years and see it as if it were yesterday. I was also able to uncover self-portraits of each of our great artists. So not only will you see what they saw. You will also see them as they viewed themselves. The Raft of the Medusa-Theodore Gericault Theodore Gericault-Self Portrait Jean-Louis Andre Theodore Gericault was a French painter born 1791 in Rouen, France and died 1824 in Paris, France. Gericault was associated with the Romanticism movement and was perhaps the most influential artist of his time. Géricault was greatly influenced by the work of Michelangelo and other Italian Renaissance painters, as well as that of the Flemish master Peter Paul Rubens. Early in his career, Géricault's paintings began to exhibit qualities that set him apart from such neoclassical French painters as Jacques-Louis David. Géricault soon became the acknowledged leader of the French romantics. A powerful expression of hope when all seems lost. May you find peace in your storms by trusting God for the miraculous salvation He has already achieved The Raft of the Medusa-Theodore Gericault This piece begins with dead bodies. That's what Theodore Gericault did. He painted them dangling in the front end of his floating horror show known as "The Raft of the Medusa" like ribbons after the unwrapping of a package.
