Lions, leopards and romantic energy · Around 1817 -1824
Lions, lionesses and leopards reveal in Géricault the same fascination for powerful bodies, restrained movement and the vulnerability that runs through his horses and human figures.
Théodore Géricault was born in Rouen in 1791 and died in Paris in 1824. His name remains linked to the Raft of the Medusa and horses, but wild animals also occupy an important place in his latest research. In London in 1820 and 1821, he observed and painted lions at the zoo, in a context where the British animal art of George Stubbs and James Ward nourished his gaze. Géricault is less interested in exotic decor than in body weight, muscular tension and the presence of the gaze. The Study of a Lion and the Head of a Lioness isolate the power of the animal in a close composition. The Two Leopards isolate the animal's power less in a close composition. The Two Leopards transform the coat and silhouettes into supple rhythms, while the Dead cat recalls its direct attention to the mortality of bodies. Alive or inert, the animal remains for him a subject of study and romantic emotion. The selection "Wild Animals by Théodore Géricault" notably compares Lion Study - Théodore Géricault and Dead Cat - Théodore Géricault. His reading favors drawing.
Géricault looks at the beast as he looks at the horse or the man: a powerful, vulnerable body charged with an energy that can arise at any moment.
