Eug猫ne Delacroix: States Of (Un)dress: Delacroix And Clothing
With its new presentation, opening to the public on 3 July, the Mus茅e Delacroix takes a new look at the artist鈥檚 works: how are Delacroix鈥檚 human subjects, real or fictional, dressed? What is the role of clothing or its absence in depicting the subject? Did Delacroix seek to paint specific costumes appropriate to an era?.
Studying these clothes, which might seem secondary but are in fact extremely present in the museum collection鈥檚 works, is another way of illuminating the artist鈥檚 sources of inspiration and his creative process.
Many works also show his particular interest in the pictorial treatment of textiles in general, their colours and draping, the golden embroidery, the patterns, and more.
