| Abstract | "This book examines Th©♭odore G©♭ricault's images of black men, women and children who suffered slavery's trans-Atlantic passage in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, including his 1819 painting Raft of the Medusa. The book focuses on G©♭ricault's depiction of black people, his approach towards slavery, and the voices that advanced or denigrated them. By turning to documents, essays and critiques, both before and after Waterloo (1815), and, most importantly G©♭ricault's own oeuvre, this study explores the fetters of slavery that Gericault challenged--alongside a growing number of abolitionists--overtly or covertly. This book will be of interest to scholars in art history, race & ethnic studies and 19th century modern art"-- Provided by publisher. |
