"Study for The Raft of the Medusa 2" is a preparatory work by the French Romantic painter Théodore Géricault for his monumental painting "The Raft of the Medusa," which was completed in 1819. This study is one of several created by Géricault as he meticulously planned the composition and explored the themes of his masterpiece. "The Raft of the Medusa" depicts the harrowing aftermath of the wreck of the French naval frigate Méduse, which ran aground off the coast of Mauritania in 1816. The event became an international scandal due to the incompetence of the ship's captain and the tragic fate of the survivors who were set adrift on a makeshift raft.

In "Study for The Raft of the Medusa 2," Géricault delves into the human condition under extreme duress, capturing the despair and determination of the figures who endured days of starvation, dehydration, and exposure. The study serves as a window into the artist's creative process, revealing how he experimented with the arrangement of figures, light, and shadow to convey the intensity of the scene. Géricault's studies were not only instrumental in the development of the final painting but also stand as significant works in their own right, showcasing the artist's skillful draftsmanship and his commitment to historical accuracy and emotional depth.

The final painting, "The Raft of the Medusa," is considered an icon of French Romanticism and is renowned for its raw depiction of suffering and survival, as well as its political commentary. It is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris. The studies, including "Study for The Raft of the Medusa 2," are valued for providing insight into Géricault's artistic journey and for their contribution to the understanding of one of the 19th century's most impactful works of art.
