DELACROIX, (FERDINAND VICTOR) EUGÈNE, born at Charanton St. Maurice, near Paris, April 26, 1799, died in Paris, Aug. 13, 1863. History painter, pupil of Guérin. Exhibited in 1822 his Dante and Virgil, which won him reputation, and he might have received high academic honours if he had not, with Géricault and others, diverged from the prevalent classicism of the school of David and joined the romantic school, of which he became one of the leaders. He travelled in Spain and North Africa in 1831, and between that and 1855 executed important public commissions, decorating the Chamber of Deputies, the Library of the Luxembourg, the Church of St. Sulpice, and galleries in the Louvre and the Hôtel de Ville.
