Romanticism portrayed dramatic and exotic subjects perceived with strong feelings. The most famous artists during this time period include Theodore Gericault and Eugene Delacroix. Raft of the Medusa shows a dramatic, contemporary event as it actually happened. The diagonal design, twisting figures, strong emotion, and dramatic use of light are important characteristics of the Romantic style. Gericault's, The Lion Hunt, shows his love of dramatic action and exotic settings. The swirls of color were very evident in this work.
