## Bio

Born 26 April 1798, Delacroix broke from the careful outlines of his rival Ingres and turned instead to the Venetian Renaissance and Rubens, building a style on color and motion over modelled form. He found his subjects not in Greek statues but in North Africa, chasing the exotic with the same intensity Lord Byron brought to nature's sublime violence. Friend and heir to Théodore Géricault, he worked as Baudelaire later described him: passionately in love with passion, coldly determined to express it clearly. His expressive brushwork and study of color's optical effects shaped the Impressionists who followed; his hunger for the exotic fed the Symbolists. He illustrated Shakespeare, Walter Scott, and Goethe as a lithographer, painted murals, and died 13 August 1863 — one of the last old Masters, and one of the few ever photographed.
