The heads must be of Guillotine-d persons, what looks to be one male and one female -equality in death. These are remarkable ,look as if painted yesterday! Thanks so much for posting these!!!
Jan – thanks for the clarification you later posted. The origins of this imagery, though scientific, greatly inform expressive essays by any painter or artist, and it is a marvellous thing that Gericault’s “filter” resulted in this painting which is so rich in possibilities for viewers.
These are stunning. Thanks!
