The story of Alfred Dedreux as a Child
Géricault's tender portrait of his young friend Alfred Dedreux, the son of the painter Pierre-Anne Dedreux. Alfred grew up to become one of France's most successful equestrian painters in his own right — a tribute, perhaps, to the time he spent watching Géricault paint horses. The portrait shows the boy with the wide, slightly melancholy eyes that became a hallmark of Romantic child portraiture. The Met holds it; the painting is one of the most reproduced of Géricault's small intimate works.
Théodore Géricault
Jean-Louis André Théodore Géricault was a French painter and lithographer. His best-known painting is The Raft of the Medusa. Despite his short life, he was one of the pioneers of the Romantic movement.
