In the life of Théodore Géricault
The whole life1820–1821
London: urban poverty and friendship with Charlet
In London Géricault witnessed urban poverty, made drawings of his impressions and published lithographs based on these observations, free of sentimentality. He associated much there with Charlet, the lithographer and caricaturist.
1821–1824
Illness and falls from horses after his return from England
After returning to Paris from England Géricault was often ill, and his condition was made worse by several falls during horseback rides.
1824
Tuberculosis and a long period of suffering before his death
Weakened by riding accidents and a chronic tubercular infection, Géricault died in Paris in 1824 after a long period of suffering.
26 January 1824
Died
