"Bay of Tangier in Morocco" is a watercolor by Eugène Delacroix, a leading figure in the French Romantic movement. The painting captures the fortified city of Tangier, Morocco, with its walled city and harbor overlooking the Bay of Tangier. The watercolor, now housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, exemplifies Delacroix's fascination with North Africa, a region he visited during his travels. Delacroix's quick, gestural brushstrokes give a sense of immediacy and energy to the scene, highlighting the vibrancy of the region and the painter's own stylistic approach.
