К вопросу о типологической связи серии портретов «Умалишенньгх» Теодора Жерико с фотографией
On the Typological Connection between the Photography and the Series of Portraits "Les Fous" by Theodore Gericault

Summary/Abstract: The portrait series "Les Fous" created by Theodore Gericault during the 20s of the 19 century is unusual in its designation. Comparing the purpose and character of realization of those portraits with photographic images of sick people during the second half of the 19 century, suggests that the paintings perform the function of photography before its invention. Publications such as the "The Clinical Cases is Saint-Louis Hospital in Photography", "Photographic Review of the Hospitals in Paris", "Iconographie photographique de la Salpetriere" are examined as photographical examples.
