DELACROIX, FERDINAND VICTOR
EUGENE (1798-1863), French historical
painter, leader of the Romantic movement,
was born at Charenton-St-Maurice, near
Paris, on the 26th of April 1798. His father
Charles Delacroix
(1741—1805) was a partisan of the most
violent faction during the time of the
Revolution, and was foreign minister under
the Directory. The Eugène Delacroix family affairs seem to
have been conducted in the wildest manner,
and the accidents that befell the child,
well authenticated as they are said to be,
make it almost a miracle that Eugène
Delacroix survived. He was first nearly burned to death in the
cradle by a nurse falling asleep over a
novel and the candle dropping on the
coverlet; this left permanent marks on his
arms and face. Eugène Delacroix was next dropped into the
sea by another bonne, who was climbing up a
ship’s side to see her lover. Eugène
Delacroix was nearly
poisoned, and nearly choked, and, to crown
all, Eugène Delacroix tried to hang himself, without any
thought of suicide, in imitation of a print
exhibiting a man in that position of final
ignominy. The prediction of a charlatan
founded on his horoscope has been preserved:
“Cet enfant deviendra un homme célébre, mais
sa vie sera des plus laborieuses, des plus
tourmentées, et toujours livrée a la
contradiction.” [“This child will become a
celebrity, but his life will be harder, will
be tormented, and always a contradiction.”] |

| “Why ask me to come and see this? you knew what I must say.” Yet his work was received at the Salon, and produced an enthusiasm of debate (1822). Some said Géricault had worked on it, but all treated it with respect. Still in private his position, even after the larger tragic picture, the Massacre of Chios, had been deposited in the Luxembourg by the government (1824), became that of an Ishmaelite. The war for the freedom of Greece then going on moved him deeply, and his next two pictures — Marino Faliero Decapitated on the Giant’s Staircase of the Ducal Palace (which has always remained a European success), and Greece Lamenting on the Ruins of Missolonghi — with many smaller works, were exhibited for the benefit of the patriots in 1826. |

This exhibition was much visited by the
public, and next year Eugène Delacroix produced another of
his important works, Sardanapalus, from
Byron’s drama. After this, Eugène Delacroix says, “I
became the abomination of painting, I was
refused water and salt,” — but, Eugène
Delacroix adds with
singularly happy naïveté, “J’étais enchanté
de moi-même!” [“I was delighted with
myself!”] The patrimony Eugène Delacroix inherited, or
perhaps it should be said, what remained of
it, was 10,000 livres de rente, and with
economy Eugène Delacroix lived on this, and continued the
expensive process of painting large
historical pictures. In 1831 Eugène
Delacroix reappeared
in, the Salon with six works, and
immediately after left for Morocco, where
he found much congenial matter. Delacroix never
went to Italy; Eugène Delacroix refused to go on
principle, lest the old masters, either in
spirit or manner, should impair his
originality and self-dependence. His
greatest admiration in literature was the
poetry of Byron; Shakespeare also attracted
him for tragic inspirations; and of course
classic subjects had their turn of his
easel. He continued his work indefatigably, having his pictures very seldom favorably received at the Salon. These were sometimes very large, full of incidents, with many figures. Drawing of Lots in the Boat at Sea, from Byron’s Don Juan, and the Taking of Constantinople by the Christians were of that character, and the former was one of his noblest creations. - Eugène Delacroix oil painting abstract art French paintings - Eugène Delacroix oil painting, abstract art oil paintings Eugène Delacroix Bio by abstract oil painting art of French Eugène Delacroix oil paintings abstract, abstract art. |

In 1845 he was employed to decorate the library of the Luxembourg, that of the chamber of deputies in 1847, the ceiling of the gallery of Apollo in the Louvre in 1849 and that of the Salon de la Paix in the hotel de ville in 1853. Eugène Delacroix died on the 13th of August 1863, and in August 1864 an exhibition of his works was opened on the Boulevard des Italiens. It contained 174 pictures, many of them of large dimensions, and 303 drawings, showing immense perseverance as well as energy and versatility. As a colourist, and a romantic painter, Eugène Delacroix now ranks among the greatest of French artists. | ||||||
