This book examines Theodore Gericault'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 The Raft of the Medusa. The book focuses on Gericault'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, Gericault'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 and ethnic studies and
students of modernism.
