Delacroix (Art & Ideas)

This book is a definitive contextual analysis of Eugène Delacroix within Napoleonic-era turbulence. The book features insightful critical innovations such as the reinterpretation of liberty leading the people, one of Delacroixs seminal works. It also looks into his North African sketchbooks' influence and his discussed rivalry with Ingres. It is a complete visual documentation which includes 190 chronologically integrated images with accompanying technical process studies. Importantly, this is a fresh scholarship on the artist, which is post-2010 based on new archival discoveries on Delacroix's journals.
