Medusa was a boat that ran aground. except a dozen of survivors, most of the 150 passengers died
with this painting, Géricault criticizes the restoration's politic and the lack of knowledge of the noble captain
hope is represented by the diversity

This is actually crazy. Look up scary history on YouTube they do a great video about it

Okay, so I know it’s not the grim reaper, but I swear you can see the grim reaper standing on that raft.

For those who wants more info on this painting - it’s quite a ride - i recommend one of the chapters in this book. Read it ages ago and it’s still fresh in my mind.
