Theodore Gericault
French Romantic Painter, 1791-1824 was a profoundly influential French artist, painter and lithographer, known for The Raft of the Medusa and other paintings. Although he died young, he became one of the pioneers of the Romantic movement. Born in Rouen, France, Gericault was educated in the tradition of English sporting art by Carle Vernet and classical figure composition by Pierre-Narcisse Guerin, a rigorous classicist who disapproved of his student's impulsive temperament, but recognized his talent.[1] Gericault soon left the classroom, choosing to study at the Louvre instead, where he copied from paintings by Peter Paul Rubens, Titian, Diego Velezquez, and Rembrandt for about six years, from 1810 to 1815.

One of a project set of four landscapes depicting times of the day, of which only three were completed. For more information see http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/works-of-art/1989.183 Probably could do with some colour adjustment, the top of the image is lighter due to prevailing light conditions in the museum, and the white/yellow is not strong enough. Finally the left-side structure, according to the miniature on the Met site, is apparently slightly red-tinged.
