Oil Paintings by Eugene Delacroix, France 1798 to 1863
Ferdinand-Victor-Eugene Delacroix was born in Charenton-St-Maurice, France.He was a pupil of the French painter Pierre-Narcisse Guerin and began a career that would produce more than 850 paintings and great numbers of drawings, murals, and other artworks. In 1822 Delacroix submitted his first painting to the important Paris Salon exhibition: Dante and Virgil in Hell. A technique used in this artwork is unblended colors forming what at a distance looks like a unified whole and would later be used by the impressionists. His next Salon entry was in 1824, the Massacre at Chios. With great vividness of color and strong emotion it pictured an incident in which 20,000 Greeks were killed by Turks on the island of Chios. The French government purchased it for 6,000 francs.
