The paintings of Eugene Delacroix
Every time there is a discussion about the French Revolution, everyone's mind must play a slide show of images from Eugene Delacroix's paintings.
In the 19th century, Eugene Delacroix is regarded as the founder of the "Romantic Movement" in French art. His entire life was devoted to the movement's interest in the sublime, emotion, and exoticism.
His works of art were extraordinary mingles of agitated brushwork, full of lushness, and pulsating with a vivid range of brilliant hues.
The Death of Sardanapalus (1827), Liberty Leading the People (1830), Women of Algiers in their Apartment (1834), Scenes from the Chios Massacres (1834), Basket of Flowers Overturned in a Park (1848–49), Apollo Slaying the Serpent (1850–51), Christ on the Sea of Galilee (Christ Asleep During the Tempest) (1853), and Lion Hunt (1861) are some of his most well-known works.
