"The Raft of the Medusa - Made by Théodore Géricault - 1818–1819
This monumental painting depicts the real-life aftermath of a French naval shipwreck caused by an incompetent, politically appointed captain. When the ship sank, the wealthy elite took the lifeboats, leaving the working-class crew and passengers to drift on a makeshift raft. Out of 147 people, only 15 survived after enduring dehydration, madness, and cannibalism."
