Julian Barnes’s Artistic and Textual Analysis of the Shipwreck of Medusa in A History of the World in 10 ½ Chapters

Author(s) Dr. Pradip Kumar Yadav
Country India
Abstract Art, through various modes of representation, has been the source of emotional and intellectual outlet for the artists. Art, whether visual, auditory or textual, serves as a proper catharsis for the artists and the conneosseurs of fine arts. Art and artists are popular not only in present social mileu but remain vibrant for future generations. The supreme art and classical artist cross the temporal and spatial periferies and become timeless and universal. Julian Barnes’s novel A History of the World in 10 ½ Chapters foregrounds various world historical events and represents them in such colouring that confirms and distorts the events at the same time. The novel’s fifth chapter “The Shipwreck” concerns the actual catastrophe of the Medusa by evaluating Gericault’s painting which sketches the very scene of the shipwreck. Barnes’s chapter successfully sketches the merits and demerits of the painting. Through the lens of his detective eyes he digs deep and critically evaluates the painting by stating what he painted and what did he not paint. By using his investigative skills Barnes tries to fill the gaps through various historical evidences and records. The present article critically evaluates the similarities and differences between two modes of art: visual through the medium of painting ‘The Scene of Shipwreck’ and textual through the medium of Barnes’s chapter ‘The Shipwreck’.
