Boasting over 3,000 drawings by Eugène Delacroix, the holdings of the Musée du Louvre alone reveal all the complexity of a multi-faceted genius. A paradoxical artist who honored tradition while constantly testing its boundaries, Delacroix (1798-1863) produced a profusion of drawings, a skillful and passionate tangle of lines and colors, frenzied hatching and sensual curves, that serve as a bridge between the past and the present.
