Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Géricault's The Raft of the Medusa depicts a dramatic and emotional scene, with a vivid use of color and a focus on individual figures rather than a classical sense of idealization and balance. This departure from the Neoclassical style is a hallmark of Romantic painting. Velàzquez' Las Meninas and Grünewald's The Isenheim Altarpiece are both examples of earlier artistic styles and do not represent the Romantic departure from Neoclassical austerity.
