Eugene Delacroix |
 |
| Born: 1798 - Died: 1863. |
| Perhaps, he could best described as the greatest French painter in the Romantic school. His use of colour, was influential in the development of later art styles namely the Impressionist, and Post impressionist painters. His use of colour possibly had the most significant impact on Pablo Picasso.
Through his career Delacroix produced more than 850 paintings and great numbers of drawings, murals, and other works.
Delacroix was impressed by the techniques of English artists. He visited England in 1825 and observed the work of John Constable, which he admired. His tours of the galleries, visits to the theatre, and observations of English culture in general made a lasting impression upon him.
Between 1827 and 1832 Delacroix produced one masterpiece after another. He again as so often Delacroix used historical themes in “The Battle of Nancy and The Battle of Poitiers”. The poetry of Lord Byron also inspired a painting for the Salon in 1827.
Delacroix was inspired by the political situation around him, which inspired probably his most well known work “Liberty Guiding the People”; this painting was undoubtedly inspired by the French revolution of 1830. This was in fact the last of Delacroix's paintings that truly embodied the true romantic ideal.
His visit in 1832 to Morocco was also to have a significant influence on Delacroix’s painting. However, Delacroix never went to Italy; he refused to go on principle, for he feared his own originality could be tainted by the influence of the old masters. His greatest admiration in literature was the poetry of Byron; Shakespeare also attracted him for tragic inspirations; and of course many classic subjects had their turn of his easel.
