Delacroix

Exhibition at the Musée du Louvre, Paris, 29 March - 23 July 2018

This catalogue of the Musée du Louvre exhibition gathers around 200 works by Eugène Delacroix (1798-1863), one of the most famous French artists in the world. The book recounts the artist's whole career, from the "coups d'éclat" that made him famous in the 1820s to his religious works, his Moroccan period or his floral compositions.
Lavishly illustrated, enriched with contributions by subject experts, this catalogue reveals the complexity of Delacroix, who was in search of both originality and tradition.
