Étienne-Jean Georget (1795 - 1828) was French doctor, a student of Jean Esquirol and Philippe Pinel. After finishing his studies in Tours he practiced and the famous Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital. He made contributions through the study of psychosis and psychopathology but his work primarily survives through the ten paintings (only five still extant) that Géricault made of some of his patients who were suffering from what were then was known as "monomanias". The five surviving paintings, from what was reportedly a series of 10, include a kleptomaniac, a woman with a mania for gambling, a military obsessive and a victim of envy.

The monomanies series by Géricault

Dutch desription

Vanaf 1822 schilderde Géricault in een jaar tijd vijf realistische olieverfportretten van patiënten van Georget. Volgens Charles Clement, schrijver van het boek Géricault. Etude Bibliographique et

critique uit 1867, waren er oorspronkelijk tien schilderijen die Géricault tussen 1821 en 1824 voor Georget schilderde. De vijf gevonden portretten van geesteszieken zijn van drie mannen en twee vrouwen uit de instelling waar Georget werkte. De patiënten zijn frontaal afgebeeld en zijn gekleed in hun eigen kledij. Géricault schilderde hen zonder achtergrond of accessoires en zonder theatrale expressies of gebaren. Hij zag de patiënten als individuen en zo heeft hij ze ook afgebeeld. De portretten tonen niet direct dat het geesteszieken zijn. De titels maken dit echter wel duidelijk:

  • 1 Monomanie du commandement militaire (waanzin gericht op het leger)
  • 2 Monomanie du vol des enfants (kinderlokker)
  • 3 Monomanie du vol (kleptomaan)
  • 4 Monomanie du jeu (gokverslaafde)
  • 5 Monomanie de l’envie (waanzin gericht op jaloezie)
