In the Raft of the Medusa (1819), Théodore Géricault revolted against Neo-Classical pictorial conventions. How is this rebellion manifested in the compositional structure of the work? |
Gericault definitely has more of a romantic mindset. He’s illuminating the frailties of human nature. There’s this romantic fascination with death and decay as well. This piece also illustrates the romantic sublime through the addition of the sea. Nature is the untamed force. Another compositional aspect that revolts against neo-classicism is that he disrupts the entire composition. For instance the center is ruptured. There are two parametal groupings taking place along with an unstable triangular structure. The diagonals in the composition are even reminiscent of baroque elements. |
|
|
How does Théodore Géricault invoke the Romantic notions of alienation, decay, and death in the Raft of the Medusa? |
