Fantin-Latour, Manet, Baudelaire: The Hommage 脿 Delacroix
Dec 07, 2011 - Mar 19, 2012
It was 1863: the year Manet sparked a scandal with his D茅jeuner sur l鈥檋erbe, and the year of Delacroix鈥檚 death. Shocked by the lack of official recognition, for the next Salon, Fantin-Latour created his Hommage 脿 Delacroix.
This seminal painting brought together a generation of innovative artists and critics, such as Baudelaire, around a portrait of the dead master.
The exhibition traces the journey of the painting and tells the story of the artistic fraternity through other portraits of the artists shown in the painting and the works tying them to Delacroix鈥檚 legacy.
