                       the house of Gericault

   While penetrating with the n° 23 of the street of the Martyrs in Paris 9°, one falls immediately under the charm from this paved yard, broadside of low wings in which one guesses workshops of artists. At the bottom, a grid is pressed on a central fountain decorated with a medallion carved Géricault representative. The painter settled in 1813 in the beautiful white house located on the left in the garden. One recognizes on the floor high curved bays of his old workshop. Fascinated by the study of the horses and the madness, it carried out withdrawn an enough life to it. It had to rent one 2nd workshop in the suburb of Rolls, to be able to work on its immense fabric the Raft of the Jellyfish. In 1822, while going down again of Montmartre, its horse made a variation and made it fall on the kidneys. A tumour was formed and the painter died on January 26, 1824, hardly 32 years old, after terrible sufferings.
