1821
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Le Déménagement de la Censure is a 1821 ink by Eugène Delacroix, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a chaotic scene of people in a horse-drawn carriage, with a large wheel in the foreground and a building with a sign reading "MAISON A LOUER" in the background. The carriage is filled with men, some of whom are wearing top hats, while others are dressed in more casual attire. The men are engaged in various activities, such as smoking, drinking, and gesturing wildly. In the background, a group of people can be seen standing outside the building, watching the commotion with interest. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of energy and movement, with the carriage and its occupants seeming to burst out of the frame. This painting is a great example of the work of Delacroix, Eugène.
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.
