A reproduction of "Study of Nude Man" of about 1817 by Theodore Gericault. This French master executed this work while in Rome and Florence when he was about twenty-six years old.  This was during a period in which Gericault was refining his efforts to depict the human body.  He returned to France where he inspired many young painters, among them Delacroix.  He died in Paris in 1824.
