More Delacroix Paintings

By artforus

Eugene Delacroix is a great artist, with details of his works available here. After the French Revolution of 1848 that saw the end of the reign of King Louis Philippe, Delacroix’s painting, Liberty Leading the People, was finally put on display by the newly elected President, Louis Napoleon (Napoleon III.) Today, it is visible in the Louvre museum.

Delacroix spent some time travelling around the UK in the early 19th century in an attempt to further his knowledge, experience and ideas. Delacroix’s paintings such as The Combat of the Giaour and Hassan and Woman with Parrot shows violence and sensuality in his paintings for the first time, which was later to become much more common. It was here that Shakespeare became the topic for Delacroix as well.
