Eugène Delacroix: The Painter Critics Loved to Hate, Episode 606
About this episode
Annie Sargent and Elyse Rivin discuss the life and art of Eugène Delacroix, focusing on his struggles with critics and his artistic evolution.
Critics called his paintings smudges. He kept painting anyway. In this episode, Annie Sargent and Elyse Rivin tell the story of Eugène Delacroix, the man behind Liberty Leading the People. His father left the family in debt. Géricault became his mentor. Critics attacked nearly every painting he showed. Then seven months in Morocco changed his art forever. Elyse tells the whole story, and Annie shares where to see his work in Paris, from the Louvre to Saint-Sulpice. You'll never look at Liberty Leading the People the same way.
