Men and Wild Horses

By the middle of the 19th century, Ingres is the grand old man of French painting. His arch-rival Delacroix is still the guiding light of the Romantics. But there is one genius, a contemporary of both men, who has been utterly forgotten. Writer Charles Clément sets out to investigate the mysterious and tragic figure of Théodore Géricault.
