Arts, where he studied with famous artists such as Pierre-
Narcisse Guérard and Jean-Louis David.

masters of the past and added his own innovations to them.

Delacroix used many new techniques, such as the

brush stroke, which allowed him to create more unyielding
and emotional compositions. He also revived the glazing
technique that gave his paintings depth and realism

Also an important characteristic of Delacroix's work

was his ability to convey emotions and suffering on his
canvases, which reflected the spirit of the Romantic period.

mood of the time when he lived. His paintings made viewers
experience the same feelings that are reflected on the
canvases.

history and mythology, which was reflected in his work. His

striking and emotional canvases.

"Massacre on Chios" reflected the suffering of the Greek
people who suffered from the Turkish empire. This work

Turkey, but it also made people aware of the cruelty of war
and the suffering of peoples.

IV. Analysis of Eugene Delacroix's paintings

• Artistic style and technique of painting

Artistic style and technique of painting Eugène

Delacroix was a master of painting in a romantic style. He
was noted for his ability to convey emotions and suffering in
his works. His style is characterized by the use of multi-
layered colors and the embodiment of strong emotional
experiences. The technique of painting was also a significant
element of his art. He used thick layers of paint, smooth
surfaces and light shadows to create an effect of depth and
realism. He also experimented with different techniques,
including brush strokes and glazing, which added more
expression and style to his paintings.

• Comparison of paintings with other works of the

artist

Comparison of paintings with other works of the artist

The painting "Freedom on the barricades" can be compared
with another painting by Delacroix - "July 28: Freedom leads
the people." Both paintings depict popular uprisings and
protests, but in "Freedom on the Barricades" the masses are
depicted as more dynamic and emotional. In "July 28" the
image reflects a more official and canonized view of the
events. The painting "Greece Dying on the Ruins of
Missolunga" can be compared with another painting by
Delacroix - "Saraphis Found by the Rebels". Both paintings
depict the victims of the rebellion, but "Greece Dying on the
Ruins of Missolunga" focuses more on the suffering and
grief of the Greek rebels, while "Sarafis Found by the Rebels"
shows their struggle for freedom. The technique of making
both paintings is similar - the use of multi-layered colors
and the embodiment of strong emotions.

The painting "Christ on the Lake of Gennesaret" can be

compared with another painting by Delacroix - "Christ on
the Cross". Both paintings depict Christ, but "Christ on the
Lake of Gennesaret" depicts him during the miracle with the
fish, while "Christ on the Cross" depicts him during the
crucifixion. Both paintings demonstrate Delacroix's
 spirituality and religiosity, but "Christ on the Lake of
Gennesaret" is more reflective of his fascination and interest
in depicting biblical subjects in his works.

All paintings by Delacroix have their own uniqueness

and differ from other works of the artist. He was able to
convey his emotions and suffering in his works and create a
unique mastery of painting.
