Eugene Delacroix

Bouquet of Flowers

1849-50 Watercolour, gouache and pastel on paper, 650 x 654 mm Mus?e du Louvre, Paris Delacroix painted flower paintings and landscapes in his later years. The symbolic import typical of Delacroix's subjects seems here to be lacking. They might be described as an early case of 'art for art's sake'. Delacroix took time off from his exhausting monumental labours to paint the flowers in the garden of his friend George Sand.
