Ferdinand Victor Eugène
Delacroix (1798 1863) was the most important of the French
Romantic painters. Delacroix's use of expressive brushstrokes and
his study of the optical effects of colour profoundly shaped the
work of the Impressionists, while his passion for the exotic inspired
the artists of the Symbolist movement. A fine lithographer, Delacroix
illustrated various works of William Shakespeare, the Scottish writer
Sir Walter Scott, and the German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
