Nexte Exhibition Drawings/Boundary/Drawings - Anselm Kiefer at the Louvre

Musée National Eugène-Delacroix

Revolving around Delacroix’s Romantic period, from 1822 to 1830, the exhibition recalls the friendships he formed during his youth, notably while attending school at the Lycée Impérial.

Acclaimed in 1824 as one of Romanticism’s leading exponents, praised by some, criticized by others, Delacroix remained loyal to his schoolfriends but widened his circle of acquaintances to include famous artists and writers of the day (Stendhal, Mérimée, Dumas, Hugo).
