EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the enigmatic figure of Eugene Delacroix, a renowned French artist of the 19th century. Created by Louis Antoine Leon Riesener in 1827, this pastel on paper composition captures Delacroix's essence with remarkable precision. The young man portrayed exudes an air of melancholy and introspection, his dark and brooding countenance hinting at the depths of his artistic soul. Delacroix himself was a prominent figure in French Romanticism, known for his vibrant use of color and emotive brushstrokes. This portrait offers a rare glimpse into the inner world of this influential artist, revealing both his intensity and sensitivity. The delicate strokes and subtle shading employed by Riesener bring out every nuance in Delacroix's features, from the piercing gaze to the slightly downturned mouth. It is evident that Riesener possessed great skill as a portraitist, capturing not only physical likeness but also conveying emotional depth. This particular print is part of a private collection but has been made available for public viewing through Bridgeman Images. Its inclusion in the exhibition "Les trois Riesener, une dynastie d'artistes" held at Galerie des Beaux-Arts in Paris during April-May 1954 further attests to its significance within art history. For admirers of Delacroix or those interested in exploring French portraiture from the 19th century, this exquisite print serves as an evocative window
