Product Description
This informative program presents a look at the greatest works of art created by this extraordinary artist.Eugene Delacroix (1798-1863) is credited with bridging the gap between the painterly traditions of the Old Masters and the new-wave artists of the French Romantic movement. Delacroix s influence is evident by the reverence paid him by the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists of the following generations including Renoir, C?zanne and Matisse, who were all profoundly influenced by his work. An all embracing artist, Delacroix was at home with styles such as pen, watercolor, pastel and oil. As a decorative artist, Delacroix remains perhaps the most outstanding artist in French history. His artistic inspiration came chiefly from historical and contemporary events or from literature. His subjects ranged from sumptuous bouquets of flowers to saints, warriors and mythical goddesses to Arab hunting scenes with ferocious tigers.
