Severed Heads is a notable work by the French artist Théodore Géricault, created in the early 19th century, specifically around 1818. This artwork is part of a series of studies that Géricault undertook in preparation for his masterpiece, The Raft of the Medusa, which vividly depicted the aftermath of the French frigate Méduse's shipwreck. Severed Heads reflects Géricault's interest in the macabre and his dedication to realism, as well as his desire to explore the themes of death and decay.

The painting features the stark depiction of severed heads, showcasing Géricault's skill in rendering human flesh and his unflinching approach to subject matter that many of his contemporaries found disturbing. This work is emblematic of the Romantic movement's fascination with the darker aspects of human existence and nature. Géricault's method involved studying body parts, which he obtained from morgues and hospitals, to achieve a high degree of anatomical accuracy. This practice underscores his commitment to realism and his belief in the importance of direct observation in art.

Severed Heads is significant not only for its technical mastery and emotional impact but also for what it reveals about Géricault's artistic process and his willingness to confront uncomfortable realities. The work is a testament to his exploration of human vulnerability and mortality, themes that resonate throughout his oeuvre. Today, Severed Heads is considered an important piece in the study of Géricault's body of work, offering insight into the artist's preparation for The Raft of the Medusa and his broader contributions to the Romantic movement in art.
