In 1818, Géricault began his most famous painting “LE RADEAU DE LA MÉDUSE” (The Raft of the Medusa), causing a scandal both artistically and politically. He became the master of Romanticism, much like Hugo with his “Misérables”. He criticised the Restoration and its new king Louis XVIII, forcing the latter to take a stand. Thanks to an amusing lecturer, discover the secrets of this gigantic Louvre painting that shocked the world and shook the throne. Relive the artistic and political upheavals of the early 19th century.
