LOUIS See also:ANDRE See also:THEODORE (1791-1824) , See also:French painter, the See also:leader of the French realistic school, was See also:born at See also:Rouen in 1791. In 18o8 he entered the studio of See also:Charles See also:Vernet, from which, in 181o, he passed to that of See also:Guerin, whom he drove to despair by his See also:passion for See also:Rubens, and by the unorthodox manner in which he persisted in interpreting nature. At the See also:Salon of 1812 Gericault attracted See also:attention by his "Officier de Chasseurs a Cheval " (Louvre), a See also:work in which he personified the See also:cavalry in its See also:hour of See also:triumph, and turned to See also:account the solid training received from Guerin in rendering a picturesque point of view which was in itself a protest against the cherished convictions of the pseudo-classical school. Two years later (1814) he re-exhibited this work accompanied with the See also:reverse picture " Cuirassier blesse " (Louvre), and in both subjects called attention to the See also:interest of contemporary aspects of See also:life, treated neglected types of living See also:form, and exhibited that mastery of and delight in the See also:horse which was a feature of his See also:character. Disconcerted by the See also:tempest of contradictory See also:opinion which arose over these two pictures, Gericault gave way to his See also:enthusiasm for horses and soldiers, and enrolled himself in the mousquetaires. During the See also:Hundred Days he followed the See also:- KING

Returning to See also:Paris, Gericault exhibited at the Salon of 1819 the "Radeau de la Meduse " (Louvre), a subject which not only enabled him to prove his zealous and scientific study of the human form, but contained those elements of the heroic and pathetic, as existing in situations of See also:modern life, to which he had appealed in his earliest productions. Easily depressed or elated, Gericault took to See also:heart the hostility which this work excited, and passed nearly two years in See also:London, where the " Radeau " was exhibited with success, and where he executed many See also:series of admirable lithographs now rare. At the See also:close of 1822 he was again in Paris, and produced a great quantity of projects for vast compositions, See also:models in See also:wax, and a horse ecorche, as preliminary to the See also:production of an equestrian statue. His See also:health was now completely undermined by various kinds of excess, and on the 26th of See also:January 1824 he died, at the See also:age of See also:thirty-three.
Gericault's See also:biography, accompanied by a See also:catalogue raisonne of his See also:works, was published by M. C. See also:Clement in 1868.
a minuteness of detail that had never before been approached. The Meditationes sacrae (1606), a work expressly devoted to the uses of See also:Christian edification, has been frequently reprinted in Latin and has been translated into most of the See also:European See also:languages, including See also:Greek. The See also:English See also:translation by R. Winterton (1631) has passed through at least nineteen See also:editions. There is also an edition by W. Papillon in English See also:blank See also:verse (i8o1). His life, Vita Joh. Gerhardi, was published by E. R. See also:Fischer in 1723, and by C. J. Bottcher, Das Leben Dr Johann Gerhards, in 1858.
