"Étude pour Le Radeau de la Méduse" (Study for The Raft of the Medusa) is a preparatory work by the renowned French Romantic painter Théodore Géricault for his monumental painting "Le Radeau de la Méduse" (The Raft of the Medusa). This study is one of the many sketches and oil studies Géricault created in his rigorous process of planning the final composition, which depicts the aftermath of the wreck of the French naval frigate Méduse off the coast of Mauritania in 1816. The disaster resulted in a scandal due to the incompetence of the French captain and the harrowing ordeal faced by the survivors, who were set adrift on a makeshift raft.

Géricault's studies for the painting were meticulous and extensive, involving numerous sketches of body parts and cadavers, as well as live models, to capture the raw emotion and physicality of the survivors. "Étude pour Le Radeau de la Méduse" serves as a crucial insight into the artist's creative process, showcasing his commitment to realism and his fascination with the human condition. The study, like the final painting, reflects themes of human suffering, heroism, and the struggle for survival, which are central to the Romantic movement's exploration of extreme emotional states and the sublime.

The final painting, completed in 1819, is considered an icon of French Romanticism and remains one of Géricault's most famous works. It is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris. The preparatory studies, including "Étude pour Le Radeau de la Méduse," are valuable for understanding the evolution of Géricault's artistic vision and the historical context that influenced the creation of the masterpiece. These studies are dispersed in various art collections and continue to be subjects of scholarly interest for their contribution to the understanding of Géricault's methodology and the broader Romantic movement in art.
