About The Artist: Eugène Delacroix was a leading French Romantic painter celebrated for his dramatic compositions, bold color, and expressive brushwork. Deeply influenced by literature, history, and travels to North Africa, Delacroix created emotionally charged works that broke from the neoclassical tradition, favoring movement and intensity over strict realism. His most iconic painting, *Liberty Leading the People* (1830), became a symbol of revolution and national identity. Delacroix’s vivid palette and dynamic technique had a lasting impact on later artists, notably the Impressionists and Symbolists, positioning him as a pivotal figure in the transition to modern art.
