This painting is also huge!
I don't know where Delacroix gets these.
But this was about war and the horrors of war its pretty obvious in the title.
We can go over the basics of this painting.
Lets play a game and go over the basics at the same time.
Q: What can we see that makes this a Delacroix painting.
A: easy
1. is the color Delacroix has rich color and this one he experimented with quite a bit. He did his fancy complementary color scheme with this painting
I would love to see a painting in person because printing can sometimes not work as well. So I feel cheated not seeing the real deal plus its a super big painting it would just be awesome to see.
2. You can see everyone has a real expressive face and the excellent figures that are drapped everywhere. Now this is before Delacroix started being really expressive in his brushstrokes but this is still a really expressive painting.
3. The whole thing is kind of oriental or exotic and Delacroix LOVED that
remember
the man on the horse is dressed so nice he is so decorated Im sure Delacroix loved painting it.
