Weislingen attacked by Goetz's Men 1836 - 1843

Eugène Delacroix's lithograph, "Weislingen attacked by Goetz's Men," captures the dramatic moment of a historic battle between German knights. The composition is dark and atmospheric, with swirling smoke and a sense of chaotic movement. The figures are rendered with a sense of realism and energy, reflecting Delacroix's interest in historical subjects and his mastery of the lithographic medium. This dynamic scene, created between 1836 and 1843, showcases the artist's signature Romantic style, with emphasis on emotion and dramatic action. The artwork, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, invites viewers to experience the intensity and spectacle of a pivotal moment in history.
