Which artist influenced Géricault?
Michelangelo
Picasso
Van Gogh
Monet
Answer
Michelangelo's powerful and expressive figures influenced Géricault's own dramatic style. Géricault admired Michelangelo's ability to convey emotion and movement through the human form, and he incorporated these elements into his own works. Géricault's famous painting "The Raft of the Medusa" (1819) is a clear example of this influence, with its depiction of the survivors of a shipwreck struggling against the elements.
