Studies for The Massacre at Chios

Artist: Eugene Delacroix
Artwork: Studies for The Massacre at Chios
Description: In 1824 Delacroix visited Greece, which had recently won its independence from the Ottoman Empire. The experience had a profound impact on him, inspiring him to paint The Massacre at Chios, a large-scale work that depicts the brutality of the Ottoman Turks toward the Greeks. This drawing is one of many preparatory studies for the painting.
