Sadly, Géricault’s life was cut short by illness at the age of 32 in 1824, following years of suffering from riding accidents and a chronic tubercular infection.

John Ruskin, born in London on February 8, 1819, was far more than simply an art critic; he was a Victorian polymath whose influence permeated the realms of aesthetics, social reform, political economy, and environmentalism. His academic journey continued at Christ Church, Oxford, where he began to articulate his burgeoning ideas about art and its relationship to society. His life was shaped by a fascinating duality – the pragmatic commercial world of his father, John James Ruskin, a successful sherry merchant, and the fervent evangelical piety of his mother, Margaret Cock.
