Eugène Delacroix Et La Critique

The result of ten years of research on Eugène Delacroix, this book is an unprecedented study of the knowledge of this artist, whose historiography is abundant. By gathering and analysing all the art literature produced on the master between 1822 and 1885, the author places the artist as an individuality interwoven in the weaving of artistic, political, journalistic and cultural networks.

By bringing to life a multitude of authors with inspired pens, this book not only makes it possible to understand the interplay between an artist, his critics and his time, but also to measure the full impact of a man's work on the art of his time.
