1832
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Eugène Delacroix is a 1832 by Jean Francois Gigoux, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a man in a dark coat with high collar and a white cravat. His hair is wavy, and he has a mustache. One hand rests on his chest, while the other hangs loosely by his side. The name "Eugène Delacroix" is written below, but this isn’t a painting—it’s a lithograph, a printmaking technique. The artist’s signature appears in the corner. Next, look up Romanticism to see how artists like this used emotion and drama in their work.
Jean François Gigoux (6 January 1806, Besançon – 11 December 1894, Paris) was a French painter, lithographer, illustrator and art collector.
