Romanticism

Introduction

The French artist Heodore Gericault (1791-1824), and his piece of art Raft of the Medusa, 1818, are an outstanding example of romanticism. His painting resulted as a consequence of modern yet classic tragedy that caused a nationwide disgrace. His painting also reminds me of the difficult times I faced, and in the end nobody was there to help me out. The people who are responsible for creating the problem, backed off and only my will power made me come out of it.
