EXPLORING ART

Episode 2064 | “Can Suffering be Shown as Beauty?”

20 Nov 2025

Description

In this episode, our group explores how artwork can show moments of history not only beautiful stories, but also tragedies. Throughout our podcast we dive deep into the history of the artwork “The Raft of Medusa.” We discuss the events behind the artwork, the history, art style, philosophy, and the artist’s life to ultimately come to a conclusion. Can a painting representing so much tragedy be beautiful or does it empathize terror? Does the artwork show artist Gericault’s sickening thoughts or his beautiful techniques?
