Description:
- Color print of Medea Furiosa.
- The artist, Eugène Delacroix (1798-1863), was a French Romantic painter and lithographer. He frequently visited the Louvre, studying and copying the great painters he admired, such as Rubens, Velázquez, etc. He grappled with the tension between tradition and classicism and the desire to find reality behind appearances. At the same time, he studied Goya and was interested in lithography.
- Medea Furiosa is a Romantic-style oil painting by Delacroix. The artist depicts Medea, a character from classical Greek mythology, in a subject, as is typical of him, of a tragic nature: due to Jason's betrayal and abandonment, she decides to take revenge through infanticide, killing the two children they had together.
