  • EUGÉNE DELACROIX: THE EPITOME OF FRENCH ROMANTICISM

    Insisting on the significance of color rather than line and evocating the expression of passion and poetry in painting, the French Romantic artist, Ferdinand Victor Eugéne Delacroix, is remembered as a fascinating man, a great painter, and a typically intellectual French hero, who came to epitomize the French aesthetics of romanticism.

    The master of exotic passion, Delacroix was born on April 26, 1798, at Charenton-Saint-Maurice in Île-de-France, near Paris.
