Théodore Géricault (1791-1824)
"Study of the Model Joseph" (1818-1819)
Romanticism
Oil on canvas

This portrait was made as a study for Théodore Géricault's most famous painting, "The Raft of the Medusa" (1819). In a clear case of ineptitude, the ship named Medusa foundered in the sea off the coast of Africa in 1816; a raft with 140 passengers drifted for thirteen days before being rescued; only fifteen people survived. In preparation for his disturbing and controversial painting of the incident, Géricault made many studies from life, like this one, to achieve a sense of realism and specificity.
