Eugene Delacroix - Paintings
Eugene Delacroix, a chief representative of Romanticism, is considered the most important French painter of the 19th century.
Born on April 26, 1798 St-Maurice- Charenton near Paris.
Died on August 13, 1863 in Paris.
Eugene Delacroix was an excellent portraitist, painter, drafter and illustrator. After his apprenticeship with Henri-François Riesener and his studies at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, he celebrated his first successes at the Paris Salon with his works "Dante and Virgil" and "The Massacre of Chios", inspired by Géricault. As a major representative of Romanticism, he was strongly contrasted to Classicism. From 1832, he traveled to Morocco and Spain. From then on, he painted more Orientalist themes. Through his use of color as a conveyor of mood, Delacroix became a pioneer of Impressionism.		 Eugene Delacroix
