''Portrait of a Kleptomaniac'' or ''Portrait of an Insane Person'' (French : ''L'Aliéné'' or ''Le Kleptomane'') is an 1822 oil painting by Théodore Géricault. It is part of series of ten portraits made for the psychiatrist Étienne-Jean Georget and is currently kept in the Museum of Fine Arts, Ghent, Belgium. ==Background== The painting belongs to a series of ten portraits of the insane inmates of Salpêtrière asylum in Paris.〔Bárbara Eschenburg e Ingeborg Güssow, «El Romanticismo y el Realismo », in ''Los maestros de la pintura occidental'', Taschen, 2005, p 427 (ISBN 3-8228-4744-5)〕 Géricault made it nearly the end of his career and the five remaining portraits from the series represent the painter's last triumph. Psychiatrist Étienne-Jean Georget, one of the founders of social psychiatry, asked Géricault to do this painting which would represent each clinical models of disease.〔Eitner, Lorenz, "Introduction", ''Théodore Géricault'', Salander-O'Reilly, 1987, p 5,6〕 Georget believed that dementia was a modern disease, which depended in large part of social progress in industrialized countries. He believed that the madmen who were mentally ill need help.〔 Instead of bringing the ill persons in a class room to examine their physical characteristics, the doctor instructed Géricault to paint models representing different types of madness. Dr. Georget much appreciated the objectivity in this series of works that established a link between romantic art and empirical science.
