On his deathbed, he competed sketches for unrealized works like Opening of the Doors of the Spanish Inquisition and African Slave Trade, while his early works include the grim pen-and-ink Executioner Strangling a Prisoner and the neoclassicist Centaur Carrying Off a Woman.
On his deathbed, he competed sketches for unrealized works like Opening of the Doors of the Spanish Inquisition and African Slave Trade, while his early works include the grim pen-and-ink Executioner Strangling a Prisoner and the neoclassicist Centaur Carrying Off a Woman. His later work includes portraits of the patients of his friend Dr. Etienne-Jean Georget such as Kleptomania, Gambling Mania, Delusion of Military Command, and Manic Envy. His best-known work has a man waving a flag toward a barely-visible ship in the distance while several others struggle to remain afloat on a makeshift vessel. For 10 points, name this French realist painter of The Raft of the Medusa.
