Géricault's Raft of the Medusa
When Théodore Géricault exhibited his Raft of the Medusa at the Paris Salon of 1819, it produced a sensation and established the reputation of the 18 year old painter. This book assembles all the known and recorded drawings and paintings related to the great picture in an attempt to trace, step by step, the gradual evolution of the painting, the ideas and influences which entered it, and the meanings which emerged in the course of its development
