About the piece
Created in 1823 by the French Romantic master Eugène Delacroix, this oil painting illustrates a tense episode from Sir Walter Scott’s novel, Ivanhoe. The composition features Rebecca watching a siege through a narrow window, her vibrant attire contrasting with the shadowed stone interior where the wounded knight Ivanhoe rests. The work showcases Delacroix’s early mastery of dramatic lighting and expressive, painterly textures.
