Eugène Delacroix (1798 to 1863) counts among the most important French painters of the 19th century. He is considered a pioneer of modernism, especially of impressionism.
His best-known painting testifies to the painter's political commitment. "Die Freiheit führt das Volk" is the emphatic title of the painting from 1830. The topless allegory of freedom holds the tricolour as a symbol of civil liberty in the right hand, followed by armed citizens and workers. The painting refers to the July Revolution of 1830.
Delacroix also exaggerates the Greeks' struggle for freedom against the Ottomans in the picture. "Das sterbende Griechenland auf den Ruinen von Messolongi" also shows Greece in the form of an attractive young woman who proudly presents herself to the viewer on the ruins of a destroyed city.
Delacroix underscores his close ties to literature, for example, with his lithographs of Goethe's Faust.
Colour and light were more important to Delacroix than the exact line of the classicists. In this way he paved the way towards the autonomy of colour in relation to the object depicted, while at the same time his work lays claim to directly reflecting the political struggles of the time.
