Duguesclin is a 1829 by Eugène Delacroix, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a group of people in medieval armor and robes. A knight on horseback stands in the center, holding a cup. Around him, soldiers in chainmail and helmets stand with hands clasped. In the background, a castle looms over a dark, rainy scene. The artist focused on the knight’s stern face and the heavy textures of the armor. The lighting makes the figures stand out against the gloomy backdrop. Look up Romanticism next to see how this style used drama and emotion in art.
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.
