The Raft of the Medusa , a major work in French 19th-century painting , is generally regarded as an icon of Romanticism.
Explanation:
She was a very mean person that was turned into an ugly lady because of Athena she turned her to look like that because she was too obsessed with her beauty so Athena put a curse on her and took away her beauty so when anyone stares at her they will be turned to stone so that is the reason why she was sent to live with the gorgon sisters so that every one was safe from her snakes and her eyes.
It depicts an event whose human and political aspects greatly interested Géricault: the wreck of a French frigate off the coast of Senegal in 1816, with over 150 soldiers on board.
