Book Description

This sequel to the highly acclaimed volumes devoted to Delacroix's earler work begins in the year he journeyed to Morocco--an experience that was arguably the most fruitful single experience in his life as an artist--and ends with his death in 1863. This the first complete catalogue of the paintings of this great French Romantic to appear since the 19th century, and it has, in the words of one critic, "extended the boundaries of the catalogue raisonne" (Art Bulletin).

Editorial Reviews

Review

Praise for earlier volumes: "An essential reference for further study of Delacroix's oeuvre and, in addition, a model of scholarly address in its genre." --Choice

"Quite apart from what it tells us about Delacroix, the catalogue is a model of its genre....As an example of cataloguing integrity it has few equals and no superiors." --Art History

"Johnson's catalogue not only brings to light paintings long lost or never adequately published, but contributes much to the knowledge of key works..."--Times Literary Supplement

Praise for the new volumes: "These new portions of Johnson's study greatly enrich our understanding of Delacroix....A remarkable scholarly resource, this book is most highly recommended."--Choice
