About the piece

Painted circa 1825, this work by Eugène Delacroix captures the melancholic quiet of a battlefield at twilight. Through deep tonal values and expressive, painterly brushwork, Delacroix focuses on the forms of fallen horses and a lone figure, creating a powerful example of the emotional depth and dramatic lighting characteristic of the French Romantic movement.
