Fragment, death and truth of the body · French romanticism
Skulls, anatomical fragments, heads and dead animals reveal Géricault's radical research into the matter of the body, suffering and mortality.
Between scientific study, preparation of the Raft of the Medusa and meditation on death, Théodore Géricault painted fragments of exceptional intensity. In 1818 -1819, to understand the bodies of the castaways, he went to Beaujon hospital, observed corpses and worked from limbs borrowed from the morgue. In the Anatomical Pieces, arms and legs are arranged like a still life, but the gray flesh and wounds prevent any decorative distance. The heads of the tortured confront the viewer with the persistent individuality of the face after death.

The heads of the tortured confront the viewer with the persistent individuality of the face after death. The heads of the tortured confront the viewer with the persistent individuality of the face after death. Dead skulls, horses, cats and game expand this research to vanity and matter animal. Géricault does not seek the macabre for himself: he studies weight, color, decomposition and vulnerability in order to give history painting a new physical truth. The selection "Anatomy and macabre visions of Théodore Géricault" notably compares Anatomical pieces - Théodore Géricault and Head of a guillotined man - Géricault. His reading favors movement.
For Géricault, the fragment is not a detail: it alone carries the weight of the body, the violence of history and the fragility of all life.
