해변 난파 (템페스트)
ca. 1822-23
Géricault, the master behind the dramatic 'Raft of the Medusa,' painted this stormy seascape near the end of his tragically short life. You can almost feel the salt spray and hear the roar of the crashing waves as a lone, desperate figure clings to the rocky shore. This piece is a perfect example of Romanticism, where nature isn't just a backdrop but a terrifying, awe-inspiring force that dwarfs humanity. The loose, energetic brushstrokes were actually way ahead of their time, hinting at the Impressionist movement that would explode decades later.
