Artist's Comments

18 x 24 Acrylic on Canvas. A reworking of Theodore Gericault's "The Raft Of The Medusa"..

Daily Deviation

Given 2008-04-17

"The Wrath Of Veruca" by *davidmacdowell pays tribute to both a great piece of artwork AND a fantastic movie with the stroke of a brush! It is delightful and just as quirky as Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory while still an interesting, and amusing, reworking of the classic French piece, The Raft of Medusa. The artist's skill does not need to be pointed out as the piece speaks volumes, so check it out and most importantly, enjoy! (Suggested by ~laerry and Featured by ^ArtisticAunJuli)

I just randomly checked this out from the Deviant Art front page, to see what it was.

Totally didn't expect a parody of Raft of the Medusa, which I actually just studied in class. Nice job.

Brilliant, I hope people got the reference to the original.

Oh goodness, the pun is evil. XD I love the coloring and how well you portraitized them all. Brilliant stuff!

Ah I see you know Théodore Géricault. I saw it in Paris and it is really impressive. And so is your work. Brilliant and always fun to look at.
