A new monograph exploring the life and works of Thodore Gricault (17911824), an artist whose life, imagination and legacy continue to enthrall audiences, artists and critics alike.Gricaults small but varied oeuvre has consistently defied easy definition; the artist himself struggled throughout his short career with the conflicting demands of the grand Neoclassical style and radical Romanticism. He was drawn to subjects of drama and horror, painting gruesome scenes of life in France as Napoleons Empire ceded to a restored Monarchy few more shocking than the cannibalism among shipwrecked victims that inspired his masterpiece The Raft of the Medusa.Yet equally significant in his artistic production was a passion for the wild imagery of horses, which even dictated his choice of painting teacher and led to some of the greatest equestrian portraits and history paintings in French art. Gricault also took great interest in the depths of the human mind, which inspired his riveting portraits.In this incisive and comprehensive survey, Nina AthanassoglouKallmyer pays tribute to established Gricault scholarship, but also reassesses the career of an artist too easily miscast as the archetypal tortured soul of arthistorical Romantic mythology. AthanassoglouKallmyer discusses all the artists key paintings and drawings, with particular attention to the iconic Raft of the Medusa, the history of its production and its artistic afterlife up to the present day.
