About the piece

Painted in 1831 by Eugène Delacroix, this portrait captures Count Demetrius de Palatiano in the elaborate dress of a Suliot warrior. The work is a prime example of the 19th-century Romantic fascination with the Greek War of Independence, rendered with the artist's signature expressive brushwork and luminous color palette.
