"The Charging Chasseur"

Theodore Gericault, "The Charging Chasseur," Oil on Canvas, 349 cm × 266 cm, 1812
Gericault was a french romanticist. Whom was known for his diagonal arrangements and vigorous paint handling. The painting displays a powerful man on a horse, both of which appear to be turning from an unseen attacker. I chose this painting because it demonstrates fear that is found in war.
