Jean Baptiste Henri Savigny, born on April 10, 1793, died on January 27, 1843, was a surgeon and doctor aboard the Medusa. When the ship sank (July 2, 1816), he was one of three officers who volunteered to take a place on the raft among 152 shipwrecked people. He is one of the 15 survivors and testifies in a report to the Ministry of the Navy about the atrocities committed during the drifting of the raft, including acts of anthropophagy. He explains the details of the tragedy to Géricault, before he paints his famous Raft of the Medusa.
