Théodore Géricault

(French, 1791–1824)

Room Paintings holds four paintings by Théodore Géricault, from The Met and the National Gallery of Art. They date from 1816 to 1820. We file all of them under Romanticism. The most common subjects are men, portraits and children. Three of them suit a room in our lists, most often the hallway or entryway and kids' room.

Our room, color and style lists leave these out. They are public domain like the rest.

A nude, muscular, pale-skinned man sits on a rock in front of a deep, shadowy landscape in this vertical painting. Most of the man’s body is silhouetted against the sky, and he nearly fills the picture.
