The Horses of Gericault

This exhibition celebrates Théodore Géricault (1791-1824) on the occasion of the bicentenary of his death and explores his representations of horses; a powerful and omnipresent motif in his work. 

Since his training with the horse painter Carle Vernet then in the workshop of Pierre Guérin, Géricault created dozens of paintings and hundreds of drawings of horses – from simple sketches to masterful sheets – where he fanatically explored all aspects of the horse.

Around a hundred exceptional works, from public and private collections, allow the pictorial rediscovery of this animal intrinsically associated with Géricault.

The exhibition takes place at the Musée de la Vie Romantique, Hotel Scheffer-Renan 16, rue Chaptal, Paris 75009, France from May 15 – September 15, 2024.
