Eugène Delacroix, born in 1798 in Charenton-Saint-Maurice, France, displayed artistic talent from a young age. He trained under Pierre-Narcisse Guérin at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he absorbed influences from both classical and contemporary art.

Delacroix's rise to prominence began with his painting 'The Barque of Dante' (1822) which earned him critical acclaim at the Salon of the same year.  However, it was 'Liberty Leading the People' (1830) that cemented his reputation.

This iconic work, depicting the personification of Liberty leading the charge during the July Revolution of 1830, is renowned for its vibrant energy and dramatic intensity. The painting's bold colour palette and dynamic composition exemplify Delacroix's Romantic ideals.

A key aspect of Delacroix's artistry was his exploration of colour and light. He often used rich, vivid hues to convey emotion and atmosphere, a technique that set him apart from the neoclassical norms of his time.

His travels to North Africa in 1832 had a profound impact on his palette and subject matter, introducing him to the region's exoticism and vibrancy. Paintings like 'Women of Algiers in Their Apartment' (1834) reflect this shift, showcasing his fascination with the interplay of light and colour.

Delacroix's influence extended beyond his own era, leaving a lasting impact on later artists, including the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists.
