Eugène Delacroix: Prince of Romanticism by Gilles Néret provides a detailed look at the life and work of Eugène Delacroix (1798–1863), a prominent French painter and key figure in Romanticism. Néret explores Delacroix's artistic evolution, beginning with his notable entry at the Salon of 1824 with "The Massacre on the Island of Chios," which marked the beginning of his reputation as a Romantic painter. The book analyzes Delacroix's penchant for dramatic themes, his innovative use of color, and dynamic compositions that influenced later artistic movements. Particular attention is paid to his literary inspirations, particularly the works of Shakespeare and Dante, and his interest in oriental motifs, stemming from his travels in North Africa. Néret also discusses Delacroix's influence on his contemporaries and future generations of artists, highlighting his role in the transition to modern painting. The book is richly illustrated with reproductions of Delacroix's works, providing readers with a visual insight into his oeuvre.
