Eugene Delacroix (1798-1863) is credited with bridging the gap between the painterly traditions of the Old Masters and the New-Wave artists of the French Romantic movement. Delacroix's influence is evident by the reverence paid him by the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists of the following generations including Renoir, Cézanne and Matisse, who were all profoundly influenced by his work. 2008, 51 min.
