"Delacroix es el primer colorista de Francia y tan colorista como Tintoretto o Veronés,pero desgraciadamente su dibujo es miserable, su estilo nulo y chocarrero; así y todo es tan bello, tan rico su colorido que todo se le puede perdonar"
Federico de Madrazo a su padre José,1853
Eugene Delacroix, The Barque of Dante (Dante and Virgil in Underworld, 1822)
Pt.2. More fantastical castles from the hand of Victor Hugo (1802-1885) author of Les Misérables &The Hunchback of Notre Dame. The romantic artist Delacroix once said that if Hugo had chosen to be an artist and not a writer, Hugo would have “outshone the artists of their century”
Learned that #EugeneDelacroix rarely exhibited his oil sketches in public, but he did show this undulating Christ on the Cross, 1845 in a prominent exhibit in Paris. I loved seeing it here, next to the fully developed canvas from 1846. (Why I love retrospectives.) #ITweetMuseums
@MarieNacre @RemyBuisine J’aurais pu tout aussi bien utiliser cette iconographie, mais voyez-vous, j’estime, sans doute comme @Elysee , que l’œuvre de Delacroix jouie d’un impact dramatique bien supérieur. Mais libre à vous de pinailler indéfiniment...
