Eugène Delacroix

(1798-1863) French Romantic painter and lithographer, creator of "The Bark of Dante" and "Women of Algiers"

Ferdinand Victor Eugène Delacroix (April 26, 1798 –  August 13, 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.
