Théodore Géricault

French, 1791–1824

Théodore Géricault (1791–1824) è stato un pittore e litografo francese nato a Rouen. Si trasferì a Parigi da bambino, dove la sua famiglia era coinvolta nel commercio del tabacco. Géricault si formò negli studi di Carle Vernet e Pierre-Narcisse Guérin, studiò opere dei maestri al Louvre e imparò sui cavalli a Versailles. Divenne un pioniere del movimento Romantico, e la sua opera più famosa fu La zattera della Medusa.
