Eugene Delacroix, Painter

Eugene Delacroix

Eugene Delacroix, a french painter whom of which, was a strong figure for the romantic period of art. His artistic style captures the emotion of his figures; also his technique is the use of loose brush strokes to capture this emotion. Eugene Delacroix was known as a history painter, history paintings include a central figure in which the theme of the painting is based upon. His embarkment on romanticism closely followed Neoclassicism painting which caused a lot of conflict about what was appreciated at the time.

I personally admire paintings and especially those of which were done during the romanticism period. The beauty of the loose brush stroke technique completely captures every emotion the painter is trying to tell the reader. Also his ability to capture the central figure allows the viewer to study what emotion the painter is trying to depict. Eugene Delacroix, was always a painter perceived as an inspiration to those who are becoming well known painters as well as those who are already prestigious. 

During this time French painters were the leaders of art, especially painting. Eugene Delacroix was world profound and his painting set a standard that many wished to achieve. His influence to deliver painting from the Neoclassical period to the Romanticism period was truly remarkable and a success. Another element I appreciate about this particular type of painting is the ability to capture the timeframe at a stand still through these picturesque brush strokes.
