Theodore Gericault. Plate "Jellyfish"
The life of an artist is varied. I want to create 40-50 rocks, depriving people of hundreds of paintings, but I just want to discover my talent... Gericault was allowed just over a decade to be creative. His tragic death became a disappointment for everyone and a great loss for mystique. But the skin of this master’s work has become the gaze of many generations of artists, and in the history of mysteries it is important to know a painter close to his talent and depth.
Theodore Gericault was born into a family of possible bourgeois. My father grew up with several Tyutun plantations in modern France, and my mother came from an important merchant family. The boy’s childhood passed away during the hours of the Great Revolution, when his homeland was not touched by a miraculous event.
In his youth, Theodore experienced two passions - horses and painting. The dark tone is important, so that the synonym of the well-known name will provide good illumination and serve the vitality. Having graduated from a prestigious college, Gericault entered military service with the musketeers. At that time, revolutionary ideas had become much worse for wear and had lost their rebellious spirit. France transformed from a republic into an empire, and the empire, apparently, emphasizes the imperial style from its mystique. The important, unwieldy and rich Empire style could not fall to the relish of the young people, who acquired the foundations of artistry from such famous artists as Vernet and Guerin, faithful to the old testaments of the great Flemings and Dutch c.
The young musketeer writes his first robots, as he finds himself on the battle scene. This period of creativity has deprived us of the anonymous little ones and sketches that represent the master’s beloved horses.
For 5 years (1810-1815), the artist has been diligently copying robots. All this hour you've been trying to reach the darkness of the masters of the past and find the right way. The trip to Italy played an important role in Gericault’s life. During the reign of France, their extreme traditions of feasting have been continuously developing for 6 centuries, and the state of Europe often adopted all those that were popular in Italy.
From his trip to Italy, Gericault brought his favorite robot “Medusa Flight”. The drama, emotion, unprecedented accuracy and clarity of the image impressed the French and deprived the rich of the rest. France has also adopted the fashion for romanticism, drinking in its powerful Empire and excesses of classicism. The French turned out to be unprepared to evaluate the work of their great master.
Quite a few hours passed and critics, supporters of academicism in painting, began to notice in Gericault the talented and humorous master. The French “quacked” and went to marvel at the sudden picture. Glory has arrived...
Relying on popularity and a reputationless reputation, Gericault begins to work, as he had in mind back in 1812. A romantic, a giant and a creative person, the artist was planning to write a monumental work on the theme of the invasion of the French troops from Russia. The plot was different, the composition was expanded, and prototypes of the soldiers were searched for. A tragic breakdown interrupted the life of the master. In 1824, at the peak hour for Gericault, he fell off his horse for horseback riding training. The blow landed on the crown.
The master's ruin was a number of psychological portraits, battle paintings, a number of genre works, a number of unfinished sculptures and faceless little ones and sketches, from which one can appreciate the master's brilliant ideas, which is so and too much or incomplete.
(1791-1824)
Jean Louis Andre Theodore Gericault, French painter, litographer, born on the 26th of June 1791 near Rouen. His father Georges Nicolas Gericault was a lawyer, and his mother Louise Caruel de Saint-Martin was like an old and rich bourgeois family. In 1801, Theodore was placed in the boarding school of the private boarding house Dubois-Loiseau, and then his father transferred him to the boarding house of René Richard Castel. Close to 1804 Gericault entered the Imperial Lyceum. Since childhood, the boy became addicted to equestrian sports and already at sixteen years of age he was a first-class athlete. Theodore was deprived of lyceum in 1808. In 1808-1810, painting began with C. Vernet, and then began with master painting with P. Guerin in 1810-1811. Géricault served with the royal musketeers, and wrote important battle scenes for him. This first great work, “Officer of the Imperial Horse Jaegers in the Hour of Attack,” was presented at the Salon in 1812. The picture is filled with pathos, but exudes the romance of battle. The picture earned the respect of mystical people. Gericault was awarded a gold medal. From 1810 to 1815 he was in the Louvre, replicating works by P. P. Rubens, V. Titian, D. Velazquez and H. Rembrandt. In 1813-1814 rocks. She created a number of paintings in the Soviet Union with the following themes: “Three horse trumpeters”, “Cirassier”, “Seated trumpeter”. At the beginning of 1816, Gericault's rock reached Italy. There, by painting and copying antiques, the works of Raphael and Michelangelo. After appreciating Italy (1817-1819), he took up the painting “The Plane of the Medusa” (Louvre, Paris). It was written in the style of realism and became a direct reference to Davidovsky. Trying to present on the canvas the story of the situation in the sea of people who recognized the ship's accident, the artist made endless preparation sketches. Gericault works at the hospital, tirelessly writing about the sick and the dead. “This workshop,” his biographer reports, “turned into a kind of morgue, preserving the corpses until they were laid out again, working in a situation that friends and sitters who came in could only bear for a short term.” In a truly private manner, with a deep and historical sense, Géricault reveals in the picture the complex gamut of human feelings - from apathy to a passionate hope for order. At the Salon of 1819, the painting was marked and quickly became one of the central exhibits of the exhibition. The novelty of the plot, the deep drama of the composition and the life-like authenticity of this masterfully written work were immediately appreciated, but it suddenly gained popularity and brought the artist the fame of a talented and brave innovator. Gericault spreads all the way to England, where horse training became his main occupation. There he wrote to the great robot “Horses in Epsom” (1821). The beautiful image of the horses that were downloaded, the creations of Gericault, gained great popularity, becoming a kind of classic canon. Vin, of course, exclaims the admiration for the smoothness and polish. In the spring of 1822, Gericault returned to France with his health that had been stolen. Unimportant at the same time, for several months it comes to write a lot of work. Among them is “Vapnyana Pich”, which played an important role in the development of a realistic landscape, as well as a series of portraits of mentally ill people, among them “Divine”, “Obsessed with the mania of theft”. The cruel fate of 1823 had a bad time. Gericault died on the 26th of today, 1824, and died on the 33rd. A sudden death prompted Géricault to paint the painting he had already planned, “The Entrance of the French from Russia 1812.”

Jean Louis André Theodore Gericault
"Jean Louis Andre
Theodore Gericault"
Géricault adds realism, the gift of poetic action, the breadth of his masculine epic style, a passionate love for life, which permeates creativity and humanism.
Jean Louis Andre Theodore Gericault was born on June 26, 1791 near Rouen. His father Georges Nicolas Gericault was a lawyer, and his mother Louise Caruel de Saint-Martin was like an old and rich bourgeois family.
Theodore was in no way similar to his protective, impertinent and skeptical father. Since 1797 or 1798 my family was in charge in Paris, the boy often ran with his yearlings on the Champ de Mars, to the Tuileries or to the outposts, to admire the military parade or, with a sinking heart, to wait for the regiments to enter Paris Napoleonic army.
Scholita Vin, as a rule, spent his father at Rouen or during the Fatherland, on the outskirts of Mortain. Here you can walk through the fields, sit in a herd or in a forge. It seems that the deep love that Jericault had always wanted for the people of the Fatherland was born in the church itself.
In 1801, Theodore was placed in the boarding school of the private boarding house Dubois-Loiseau, and then his father transferred him to the boarding house of René Richard Castel. Close to 1804, Géricault entered the Imperial Lyceum, declaring himself to Castel. Theodorov was then thirteen years old. The lessons didn't matter to me. He forgot about them and covered the sides of his sewing with little ones, drowned in music and read a lot.
Since childhood, the boy became addicted to equestrian sports and already at sixteen years of age he was a first-class athlete. It was a great day in Paris for the victorious skins, so they could go either to the Louvre, where Rubens chained him with respect, or to the circus of the nobleman Franconi. And in Morten he rode wild horses without fear.
Theodore was deprived of lyceum in 1808. He makes two decisions: buy a strong horse and dedicate his life to painting. In the fall of 1808, Gericault became a student of Carl Vernet - to become a middle-of-the-road, less fashionable at that time, Parisian battle painter and genre painter, the great master of tiny horses. Gericault, however, confronted his reader with skepticism: “My only hope is to know these horses!”
Two years later, the young artist collects for the continuation of his studies the masterwork of the famous follower of classicism, Pierre Guerin. Here Theodore began to stubbornly and respectfully embrace nature, the laws of composition and the methods of classic decoration. Géricault's struggle to heroic images emerges with a completely expressive character.
In the spring of 1812, Gericault created his first great canvas - “Officer of the Imperial Horse Jaegers at the Hour of Attack”, and presented it in the Salon of the same fate. The picture was a small success, it gained the respect of artists in an unknown place.
“Officer of the Imperial Jaegers” is a must-see for works that are extremely effective in design and that, while striking at first glance, are forever etched in the memory.
"Jean Louis Andre
Theodore Gericault"
The picture is filled with pathos, but exudes the romance of battle. Gericault was awarded a gold medal. Ale, to a great extent, I was so enchanted by the artist that I didn’t buy the painting.
In 1813, Gericault, who had previously been alive with his father, moved to Vlasna. In 1813-1814, Vin created a number of paintings and sketches in English themes: “Three horse trumpeters”, “Cirassier”, “Seated trumpeter”.
At the Salon of 1814, Géricault performed with the painting “The Wounded Cuirassier.”
Just as in “Officer” the artist paints the image of a fearless young hero who will fight the police until victory, then in “The Wounded Cuirassier” we paint a very tragic image of a wounded warrior who, having recognized his defeats, is forced to lose the battlefield.
The picture is not a small success. Géricault’s idea—the poeticization of military failures—has become unreasonable. The closest works, created by Gericault, are wrapped, as before, around military themes. This is a miraculous sketch “The departure of the artillery”, “The departure of the wounded”, “Attack of the cuirassiers”.
At the beginning of 1816 Gericault went to Italy. Here, by painting and copying antiques, the works of Raphael and Michelangelo. In the Italian artists, they drew on these trends towards the formality, monumentality, and gentry of the language, which appeared to work on the monumental ideas of the nearest rocks.
A new stage of the master’s creativity, which began after he returned to Paris, was the result of the creation of the painting “The Raft of the Medusa” (1818-1819). having completed a lot of preparatory studies.
Gericault multiplies sketches from nature, works at the hospital, tirelessly writes about the sick and the dead.
“This workshop,” his biographer reports, “turned into a kind of morgue, preserving the corpses until they were laid out again, working in a situation that friends and sitters who came in could only bear for a short term.”
Not content with this, Gericault searches everywhere for models that could serve him as truthful images. Having lost his friend Lebrun, who was ill with burns, he came to the capture. “I instilled fear,” says Lebrun, “the children flocked to me, mistaking me for the dead, but I would be wonderful for a painter, who is the color that has power over the dying.”
In a truly intimate manner, with a deep and historical setting, Géricault reveals in the picture the complex gamut of human feelings - from apathy to a passionate hope for order.
At the Salon of 1819, the painting was marked and quickly became one of the central exhibits of the exhibition. The press raised a fight against her. Before artistic assessments, motives of political order were also added: Géricault’s work was perceived as a new attack against the current regime. Gericault did not reject the proposition of the purchase order.
We are disappointed that his grandiose plan was not immediately appreciated, Géricault went to England in 1820, and experienced two fates.
There he met John Constable, who with his enthusiasm awakened new strength in Géricault, who managed to accept him, despite his depression, for another great work, “The Races at Epsom” (1821).
The horses fly in a cowlick over the field of stripers, their front and hind legs stretched parallel to the ground. There is a reaction to the supra-primary intensity and flow. Horses and jockeys are written with great zeal, with a dryness that is inappropriate for Gericault. For example, the landscape - a plain covered with green grass with hillocks on the horizon, a gloomy sky with gaps - is written broadly, flattened. It seems that the horses are racing ahead, and the earth is flowing swiftly under their feet.
The vivid image of the horses that were downloaded, the creations of Gericault, gained great popularity, becoming a kind of classic canon, being repeated countless times, exclaiming the enemy of fluidity, polish.
In the spring of 1822, Gericault returned to France with his health that had been stolen. Regardless of the situation, over the course of several months, low-cost creations arise.
So we are in front of this “Vapnyana Pich”, so we can see what an important stage in the development of a realistic landscape.
“Everything is cool in this landscape - the abundance of trees, all kinds of foliage reinforces the desolation, desolation of the place,” writes B.N. Ternovets. “Coloring the pictures further enhances these moods. Barvysta gama is reduced to brown, warm green them, gray-yellow tones. Gericault In whose work he acts as the ancestor of a realistic landscape, he raises the importance of landscape as an independent genre.
In addition, Géricault creates a miraculous series of portraits of mentally ill people, among them “Godlike”, “Obsessed with the mania of theft”. The images, which seem to be surrounded by a kind of confusion, bear a hint of that high humanity, which is taken over by the Mitzah to the evil, wasted human essences.
Unfortunately, serious illness did not allow the artist to realize all his talents. The cruel fate of 1823 had a bad time. Delacroix, who saw him born in 1823, writes in his journal: “Last evening I was at Géricault’s. What a crazy evening! Turning home to a renewed enthusiasm for his painting. Especially these heads of the carabiner! Remember about him. This is a spectacular milestone. Beautiful sketches! What a fort! What an achievement! youth, if you can turn around on your own bed without someone else’s help!”

Just 32 years ago, fate fell upon the “forever young romantic,” as they wrote about him in necrosis, to the famous French artist of the Romantic era, Theodore Gericault, tragically died after falling from his horse. How evil is the irony of fate! Adje Talanovitiy yunak, born on the 26th spring of 1791, loving horses, the stench itself was the main theme of his many works, the stench itself was another passion for him after painting.
Theodore, who possessed Volodya’s brilliant talents and unique talents for the wedding, is rightfully considered the founder of romanticism in French painting. Yogo saw the images of majestic power. His work is expressed by the dynamic composition and color, contrasts of lightness, sublime expression and sublime emotionality of images. Most of the talented artist’s works are preserved in Paris, at the Louvre. However, deals from them are sometimes sold out at auctions and become the subject of a heated struggle among the current pricing mysteries. Today we would like to present to you a small look at some of the famous masters of painting who are now getting on with life. Amazing?
They first started talking about Theodore Gericault in 1812, when the twenty-year-old artist dared to exhibit a painting at the Salon dedicated to the dramatic scenes of his era (1812). It was written on the outset of the French army's campaign in Russia and exudes the urgency of life's cautions, turbulent dynamics and highly emotional intensity of color. On the canvas, the lieutenant does not pose, but acts: the diagonal line of the composition leads to the angle of the painting, where the battle is located. Having served with the royal musketeers, the young man conceived the plot very realistically. The work is preserved at the Louvre, Paris.
Already two years ago, Theodore wrote a continuation, conceived as a guy before the previous picture. (1814 r.) defeats the whole tragedy of the situation that developed in France after the defeat of Napoleon’s army in Russia, the disappointment of the people with Napoleonic politics. Instead of the hero of the images straightened to victory, the officer who is always on his feet, forcibly deprives the battlefield. The frown will be felt by the landscape with the dark gloom that hangs low. The painting is kept at the Louvre, Paris.
The most famous, unprecedented in the history of mysticism for the power of the new pathos and protest is the canvas (born 1818 - 1819), - this masterpiece of Géricault created a whole river. The plot for this was the story about the death of the ship "Medusa" due to the French rule on the coast of Africa. Only a few people were able to roll on the flesh.
The sharp lighting of the animal contrasts with the stress of the characters in the picture as they suffer on anonymous people. Theodore demonstrates Vinyatkov’s realistic style of painting and simultaneously destroys the theme of humanity (the first among the “romantics”). The composition of the picture is prompted by the DIAGONALIA, Scho to rewind, the focus on the pranks on the pranks of the tudi, the rowing ship, I can see the verse sustainable Rusi, the Yaky Implito, I will go to the Plit gate. The canvas was acquired by the Louvre at the posthumous sale of the artist’s work.
Painting ( Epsom Derby, 1821 r.) is permeated with a rush: the figures of horses that rushed, almost sticking to the ground, were angry in one stream line. Everything is crumbling, there are low glooms and their shadows that wander across the wooly field. All the contours in the landscape are expanded, the farbi are blurred, - Géricault, like a seasoned horseman, shows us the world as it is like to ride a jockey on a horse and gallop. It is located at the Louvre, Paris.
One of the remaining works by the artist is Bula (1822). In the dying breath of a creature that is most likely to repair the work, the soul of Theodore is clearly visible, wrapped up in bed and understanding that he will not turn back until the end of his life. Is it possible to find a different shell for yourself?
The Louvre preserves and summarily (1824), one of a series of images of the divine, painted by Theodore Géricault in the last days of his life. The motor picture completely reveals the terrible truth, it is greedy, and even miraculous in its realism.
In the end of life itself, when I so needed encouragement, from the hopeless Theodore, who courageously continued to chew his babies, all his friends, friends and pranksters turned up, without even realizing the terrible revolution that was about to happen in the soul of an artist. The dozens of complex surgeries he underwent did not help him get back on his feet. The life of one who was bundled up seemed impossible for those who heard the whistle of the wind in the ears of Theodore Gericault, who most loved babies and riding horses. The 32-year-old youth is praised as the most successful person in France, unknown and forgotten.
