antoine charles horace vernet aka carle vernet (1758 – 1836)
Carle Vernet fue un pintor francés clave del siglo XIX, famoso por sus dinámicas escenas de batalla glorificando a Napoleón, su maestría en la representación equina y sus detallados estudios de moda. Hijo de Claude Joseph Vernet, su obra innovadora marcó una transición entre el neoclasicismo y el romanticismo.
In the early 1820s, Parisian critics were hard pressed to decide which young painter held greater promise, Vernet or his close friend—and friendly rival—Gericault. This work shows Gericault as a Romantic artist, a type that had recently come into being based on Lord Byron"s example. He is depicted deep in thought and possibly suffering physically as well. It was probably painted when Gericault was stricken with the disease that claimed his life in 1824. In a lithograph made by Vernet in 1823, Gericault wears the same scarf on his head.
