Biography:
Eug¿ne Delacroix studied under history painter Pierre-Narcisse Gu¿rin (1774-1833) and at the ¿cole des Beaux-Arts, though he did not succeed in competitions there. He soon befriended romantic painter Th¿odore G¿ricault (1791-1824) and exhibited at his first Salon in 1822 his powerful, moody The Barque of Dante (Mus¿e du Louvre, Paris). In the next Salon, inspired by the recent events in the Greeks' struggle for independence against the Turks, Delacroix showed Scenes from the Massacres at Chios (Mus¿e du Louvre, Paris), a painting whose anti-academic composition, free brushwork, and brilliant color caused hostile critics to accuse the artist of the "massacre of painting." Nevertheless, he was awarded a Salon medal and the state purchased the picture.After the early death of G¿ricault, the young artist became the titular head of the French romantic artistic movement, as much for his innovative technique as his new themes. Widely read and an Anglophile, Delacroix drew frequently from Brit
