Brother Martin with Goetz is a 1836 ink by Eugène Delacroix, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a knight in heavy armor standing with his hand on a woman’s shoulder. She’s dressed simply, looking up at him. Behind them, a shield with a cross and a pile of old books or scrolls sit on a table. The room feels dark and cluttered, with a window or door frame visible in the background. The knight’s armor looks worn, and the woman’s face is turned toward him like she’s listening. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and emotion, not just details. Next, check out how this was made with lithography.
Ferdinand Victor Eugène Delacroix ( DEL-ə-krwah, -KRWAH; French: ; 26 April 1798 – 13 August 1863) was a French Romantic artist who was regarded as the leader of the French Romantic school.
