Then, at the house of his neighbour, he hears about the French frigate Medusa, shipwrecked off the shores of the West African coast. With tales of betrayal, madness, murder and cannibalism, this was a catastrophe that horrified the French public - and Gericault is duly fascinated. When he manages to track down two of the raft’s survivors and invites them to his home to discover what really happened during those fifteen days at sea, Gericault knows he has finally found his subject.
