The Raft of the Medusa painting by Théodore Géricault is an incredible Romanticism painting based on a jaw-dropping story during the early 1800s. This video tells the story of the few men who survived this lost-at-sea tragedy and includes an analysis of this art piece, which helps us see why it is so captivating.
I am currently uploading one new art history video a week. I love how art helps us understand our complicated yet simple and relatable human history.
