About the piece
Created in 1844, this dramatic oil study by Eugène Delacroix captures the raw intensity of the human struggle against nature. Part of his series inspired by Lord Byron's poem 'Don Juan', the work is characterized by the artist's signature energetic brushwork and a brooding palette of deep greens and earthy browns that command a space with their atmospheric depth.
