_________________________________________________________________
Géricault's fiery, daring personality and short life, fit the mold of Romantic artists of his era and, along with his controversial paintings, profoundly influenced 19th-century art.
Géricault was born in 1791 into a wealthy family in Rouen that moved to Paris some years later. He received his first art classes in Paris in the studios of Carle Vernet and Pierre Guérin. In 1811 Géricault decided to be responsible for his training and began to copy works by the Old Masters in the Louvre. Aged only 21 and almost entirely self-taught, in 1812, Géricault presented his first major work Officer of the Imperial Guard on Horseback (1812) at the Salon. Over the following years, Géricault continued copying, and in 1814 he again showed work The Wounded Cuirassier (1814) at the Salon. This more elaborate composition was not as well-received as the first one.
Having failed to gain a prize in the Prix de Rome, Géricault decided to travel to Italy at his own expense. Once there, he was particularly impressed by the works of the Italian Renaissance artists, above all Michelangelo, and by Rubens. During his stay in Rome, Géricault executed a series of paintings of the horse race known as the Corso dei Barbieri.
