Eugène Delacroix

    April 26, 1798 – August 13, 1863

    Eugène Delacroix, a pivotal figure of French Romanticism, pioneered expressive brushwork and a profound exploration of color's optical effects, significantly influencing the Impressionists. His art drew inspiration from the Venetian Renaissance and Rubens, prioritizing vibrant color and dynamic movement over stark outlines and sculpted forms. Driven by a fascination with the exotic, he journeyed to North Africa, infusing his canvases with dramatic and romantic themes. As Baudelaire observed, Delacroix was "passionately in love with passion, but coldly determined to express passion as clearly as possible."
