Flowers
1843
Eugène Delacroix, the fiery master of French Romanticism, traded his grand historical dramas for a quiet, intimate moment with this vibrant bouquet of wildflowers. Bursting with rich magentas, deep purples, and sunny yellows against a textured beige background, the flowers seem to dance with a lively, almost untamed energy. You can spot his initials "E.D." stamped in red at the bottom right, a tiny signature on a piece that feels more like a spontaneous, joyful sketch than a formal composition. Even the greatest painters needed a break from revolution to simply enjoy the beauty of a garden.
