Delacroix and His Forgotten World
The Origins of Romantic Painting
Margaret MacNamidhe New Hardback Illustrated
Postscript summary
Best known for his dramatic celebration of the 1830 July Revolution, Liberty Leading the People, Eugène Delacroix is often considered the leading exponent of Romanticism in French painting. This well-illustrated art historical thesis considers this view by examining his work – and that of notable as well as now-forgotten peers – and how it was received at the time.
Product information
Full publisher description
The image of Eugene Delacroix as an august artist with an august oeuvre was initially frozen into place by posthumous tributes and it has continued to the present. He was one of the finest yet least understood painters of the nineteenth century, the golden age of the French Romantic movement. He is remembered best for his masterpiece, La Liberte guidant le people, but few of his works have received the kind of constant, fascinated revisiting that has sealed the iconic status of Theodore Gericault's Le Radeau de la Meduse, for example. This book is one of the first to look carefully at individual paintings by Delacroix, especially at one of his most important works - a key but often overlooked painting from early Romanticism's heyday, Scene des massacres de Scio.
