Page "The Raft of the Medusa" Paragraph 66

The influence of The Raft of the Medusa was felt by artists beyond France.

Francis Danby, a British painter born in Ireland, probably was inspired by Géricault's picture when he painted Sunset at Sea after a Storm in 1824, and wrote in 1829 that The Raft of the Medusa was " the finest and grandest historical picture I have ever seen ".
