Comment Théodore Géricault transforma un naufrage morbide en un chef d’œuvre du romantisme ? Entre un fait divers tragique près des côtes africaines et un atelier parisien empli de morceaux de cadavres, explorons les coulisses du Radeau de la Méduse en voyant comment cette peinture illustre les caractéristiques du romantisme et les revendications d’un jeune peintre français du 19ème siècle.
