ABSTRACT
This chapter gathers together twenty of the images discussed in the book: ten paintings and a sheet of drawings by Théodore Géricault, a painting by Jacques-Louis David and another formerly attributed to him, a painting by Eugène Delacroix, a lithograph after a painting by Horace Vernet, three engraved book illustrations, by Ambroise Tardieu, including one made after a drawing by Georges François Marie Gabriel, a drawing by this same Gabriel, and a plate from a book by Charles Bell. The reader might care to linger on these for a while, in as open-minded and free-associative a way as possible, before reading on.
