The Harvard University Art Museums hold one of the world's finest
collections of early 19th-century drawings. The nearly 500 works
reproduced in this catalogue include the most significant groups of
drawings outside France by the masters of the age - David,
Gericault, Ingres, Delacroix and Prud'hon. Drawing is the most
direct and spontaneous of all artistic media, and many studies in
the collection vividly evoke the genesis of some of the period's
enduring images. A design by Jacques-Louis David marks a stage in
the development of his major revolutionary composition, The Oath of
the Tennis Court, while two precious sketchbooks, consisting of
more than 100 drawings, document the painstaking evolution of
David's greatest Imperial project, the massive canvas depicting The
Coronation of Napoleon. Of parallel significance is a large-scale
and beautifully rendered drawing for what is arguably the peerless
masterpiece of Romantic painting, Gericault's Raft of the Medusa.
