EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artwork titled "Man Clutching Horse Water Poussins Deluge recto (Man Clutching a Horse in Water, after Poussins 'Deluge' (recto); Compositional Study? (possibly for 'Poussins Deluge') (verso), c. 1816" by Theodore Gericault. The French artist, known for his powerful and emotive works, created this piece using pen and brown ink, as well as brush and brown wash over graphite. The image captures a moment of intense drama and tension as a man desperately clings to a horse amidst raging waters. Inspired by Nicolas Poussin's renowned painting "Deluge". Gericault explores the theme of human struggle against the forces of nature. The composition study on the verso suggests that Gericault meticulously planned every element of this artwork, ensuring its visual impact is both striking and thought-provoking. The use of different mediums adds depth and texture to the piece, enhancing its overall expressiveness. Dating back to 1816, this work exemplifies Gericault's talent in capturing raw emotions through his artistry. His ability to convey human vulnerability in the face of adversity is evident here, leaving viewers captivated by the intensity portrayed within such a small sheet measuring just 18 x 26.2 cm. As an important figure in French Romanticism during the early 19th century, Theodore Gericault continues to inspire artists today
