Delacroix Prints

Eugene Delacroix prints represent some of the best French art and cover key points in recent French history, such as the French Revolution as seen in his best known work Liberty Leading the People. This article covers the painting career and life of this famous French painter in full.

Delacroix was an artist who competes strongly with British romanticist artists who dominated this art movement, leaving Delacroix remaining to lead the French group of artists who were also involved with this style of painting which involved emotional depictions of topics rather than the traditional methods which involved covering everything exactly as it appeared to the artist.

Famous prints by Eugene Delacroix include Death of Sardanapalus, Arabs Skirmishing In The Mountains, Aspasia, Basket of Flowers, Christ on the Sea of Galilee, Clorinda Rescues Olindo und Sophronia and Columbus and His Son at La Rabida.

Concluding, Eugene Delacroix is an important artist for several reasons which has led to him becoming someone who was both respected by the art public and academics alike. Delacroix was the spearhead of French Romanticist art as well as covering very important scenes from the French Revolution with his highly skilled brush strokes. Few famous French artists have achieved success within this art movement and as such Delacroix’s contributions are very important. One reason for Delacroix taking up this art movement was from his travels around the UK which at the time had offered up many highly skilled painters who were strongly linked to Romanticism, such as JMW Turner for example.
