The Raft of the Medusa - Theodore Gericault
The work has become an icon of French Romanticism. Depicts a moment from the aftermath of the wreck of the French naval frigate Méduse, which ran aground off the coast of today's Mauritania on 2 July 1816. 147 people were set adrift on a hurriedly constructed raft; all but 15 died in the 13 days before their rescue and those who survived endured starvation and dehydration and practiced cannibalism. The event became an international scandal, in part because its cause was widely attributed to the incompetence of the French captain.
