The second work is The Wounded Cuirassier.
This artist's first work to be accepted to the Salon was inspired by classical high-relief sarcophagi recently acquired by the Louvre, and a later work depicts a similar subject in defeat, reflecting events in the intervening period. The second work is The Wounded Cuirassier. This artist's final works were painted at the request of Etienne-Jean Georget, including A Crazy Woman Maniacal for Gambling, one of ten portraits of inmates of the SalpetriÃ¨re Asylum distinguished by their vacant stares. La NÃ¨gre Joseph, a native of Santo Domingo brought to Paris as an artistic model, posed for the best known-work of this artist. That work was an attack on the incompetence of Captain Hugues Duroy de Chaumereys and his political patrons in the restored Bourbon regime. For 10 points, name this artist of a work in which sinewy bodies hang dramatically to the title floating contraption, The Raft of the Medusa.
