Théodore Géricault was a French painter of the Romantic period, born at the end of the 18th century, who lived only 33 years. Despite his short life, he achieved remarkable artistic feats - he painted dozens of artworks that brought him worldwide acclaim and are displayed in the most famous museums. His most renowned painting is 'The Raft of the Medusa,' depicting the rescue scene of shipwreck survivors from the Méduse frigate's raft. It portrays real events that occurred in 1816 off the coast of Africa. He mainly painted portraits and battle scenes. He is said to be a 'painter of horses and madmen' because a significant portion of his subjects includes horses and patients from a psychiatric hospital, whom he portrayed at the request of one of the doctors.
