Eugène Delacroix (1798-1863) was a French painter and artist of the Romantic movement. Known for his bold, expressive brushstrokes and vivid colors, he was a leading figure in the transition from Neoclassicism to Romanticism. His works often depicted dramatic scenes of history, literature, and mythology, infused with emotional intensity. Influenced by Shakespeare and the writings of Victor Hugo, Delacroix's paintings exuded passion and drama, earning him the nickname "the painter of liberty."
