Failing to drop my architecture course, 35 years ago.
When I was an architectural student, at Kingston Art School in the 1970's, and struggling with the course, I tried to escape by spending too much time in the library, where I got myself an art-history education without the bother of going to lectures or having to write essays. There I discovered Lorenz Eitner's wonderful book on the Raft, which sets out the history of making the painting, and includes all of Gericault's preparatory life- drawings, and his trial compositions.
