Portrait of Eugene Delacroix 1819

Théodore Géricault's "Portrait of Eugène Delacroix" is a striking oil painting depicting the renowned Romantic painter. The portrait, completed in 1819, showcases Delacroix's youthful features against a dark backdrop. The strong chiaroscuro, with light illuminating Delacroix's face, emphasizes his expressive eyes and serious gaze. This work, now housed at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen in France, exemplifies Géricault's skill in portraiture and his ability to capture the essence of his subject.
