About the piece
Created by the renowned French Romantic painter Eugène Delacroix around 1860, this work depicts a pivotal moment in the Greek War of Independence. The composition is filled with the frantic energy of a surprise attack, executed with Delacroix's signature loose, expressive brushwork and a masterful use of light and color that emphasizes the drama of the historical narrative.
