I found an app which would be useful to artists and i thought i would include it here...

When talking about Theodore Gericault, it would be hard to distance from military themes and images of horses, subject that he returned to every now and then throughout his short career. His most notable success was a painting called The Raft of the Medusa which was actually inspired by the scandalous news about a captain leaving his crew and passengers to die in the middle of the sea. His work is a fusion of his studies as a young painter who took inspiration from Rubens, Titian, Michelangelo and other classical painters. Combining the turbulent drama, he was a pioneering influence for the Romantic Movement.

The Gericault iPad app is a fantastic work that captures some of his drawings for paintings and studies. You can see here a lot of military themes, some portraits, images of horses and others. This is a great app that has a hundreds of high quality images that you will definitely love to view one by one. The app is cleverly categorized into easily identifiable sections. There is a section dedicated to his study for The Raft of the Medusa. This app also contains studies of people, mythological drawings portraiture and lithography. Indeed, this is jam packed with a lot of Gericault's inspiring works.

I FOUND THIS VALUABLE APP AT:

Had he lived longer, he might have seen the establishment of the Romantic era in France, where he will be known as a pioneering spirit of the movement. Theodore Gericault is an influential artist, lithographer and painter who had a short lived career due to his failing health where he succumbed to death in 1824. He did not like Neoclassicism and though he studied the works of Titian, Rubens, Michelangelo and other classical artists, he further enriched his technique by studying the works of other painters like Rembrandt and Velasquez. Nonetheless, his contributions were never in vain, being the pioneers of the Romantic Movement.

Gericault has several drawings depicting his art studies and paintings and you can find them conveniently cataloged in this iPad app. This is a fantastic app if you like to learn more about the diverse styles and methodologies of Gericault in depicting detail, movement and other aspects. Over a hundred drawings, you can enjoy and explore the amazing artistic vision of Gericault and his works. This app can be used to view the drawings in detail as well as in slide show format.
