From the collection of Städel Museum
Hamlet and Horatio at the Cemetery is a 1835 oil by Eugène Delacroix, a French Romanticism work, held at Städel Museum.
The painting shows two men standing in a cemetery. One man is dressed in dark clothes and sits on a tombstone, holding a skull. The other man stands beside him, wearing a blue shirt and red pants, with his arms crossed. The background is a hill with more tombstones and a pink sky. The man sitting on the tombstone looks sad, and the skull he's holding adds to the somber mood. The standing man seems to be thinking deeply, with his arms crossed and a serious expression. This painting might remind you of the work of artist Eugène Delacroix.
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.
