GERICAULT, JEAN LOUIS ANDRE THEODORE (1791-1824), French painter, the leader of the French realistic school, was born at Rouen in 1791. In 1808 Théodore Géricault entered the studio of Charles Vernet, from which, in 1810, he passed to that of Guérin, whom Théodore Géricault drove to despair by his passion for Rubens, and by the unorthodox manner in which Théodore Géricault persisted in interpreting nature. At the Salon of 1812 Géricault attracted attention by his Officer de Chasseurs a Cheval (Louvre), a work in which Théodore Géricault personified the cavalry in its hour of triumph, and turned to account the solid training received from Guérin in rendering a picturesque point of view which was in itself a protest against the cherished convictions of the pseudo-classical school. |

| Two years later (1814) Théodore Géricault re-exhibited this work accompanied with the reverse picture Cuirassier blessé (Louvre), and in both subjects called attention to the interest of contemporary aspects of life, treated neglected types of living form, and exhibited that mastery of and delight in the horse which was a feature of his character. Disconcerted by the tempest of contradictory opinion which arose over these two pictures, Theodore Gericault gave way to his enthusiasm for horses and soldiers, and enrolled himself in the mousquetaires. During the Hundred Days Théodore Géricault followed the king to Bethune, but, on his regiment being disbanded, eagerly returned to his profession, left France for Italy in 1816, and at Rome nobly illustrated his favorite animal by his great painting Course des Chevaux Libres. |

| Returning to Paris, Theodore Gericault exhibited at the Salon of 1819 the Radeau de la Méduse [The Raft of the Medusa] (Louvre), a subject which not only enabled him to prove his zealous and scientific study of the human form, but contained those elements of the heroic and pathetic, as existing in situations of modern life, to which Théodore Géricault had appealed in his earliest productions. Easily depressed or elated, Theodore Gericault took to heart the hostility which this work excited, and passed nearly two years in London, where the Radeau was exhibited with success, and where Théodore Géricault executed many series of admirable lithographs now rare. - Theodore Gericault famous oil paintings for sale painting - Theodore Gericault - French famous oil painting for sale, famous oil paintings for sale and Theodore Gericault Bio, for sale famous oil paintings of French painter. | |||||||

At the close of 1822 Théodore Géricault was again in Paris, and produced a great quantity of projects for vast compositions, models in wax, and a horse écorché, as preliminary to the production of an equestrian statue. His health was now completely undermined by various kinds of excess, and on the 26th of January 1824 Théodore Géricault died, at the age of thirty-three. | ||||||
