浪漫主义的狮子 -- 狄拉克洛亚
The Romantic Lion - Eugene Delacroix

狄拉克洛亚(Eugene Delacroix 1799-1863)是一个感情热烈的人，因此后人给他一个浪漫主义的狮子的绰号来说明他热烈的情感和形容他雄狮般的气概。

他喜欢以文学的体裁作画--他经常从但丁、莎士比亚、哥德等人的作品上吸引养料，爱选取雄浑悲壮而富有戏剧性的场景，用浓烈的色彩和奔放的笔触，他工作起来像一匹不羁的野马，狂热而迅速。他那幅有名的画“希阿的屠杀”，只用四天功夫就完成了，这速度是惊人的。

狄拉克洛亚有名的作品有“十字军入君士坦丁堡”和“一八三〇七月廿八日”等，这两幅画的构图很复杂，整幅人物是在运动的状态中，而且都是描写历史上两件重要事件的。

Eugene Delacroix (1799-1863) was a passionate individual, earning him the nickname "The Romantic Lion" to describe his intense emotions and lion-like demeanor.

He had a penchant for creating paintings inspired by literature. Delacroix often drew material from the works of authors such as Dante, Shakespeare, and Goethe. He favored selecting grand, tragic, and dramatic scenes, using bold colors and vigorous brushwork. His approach to work was akin to that of an untamed wild horse—passionate and swift. Remarkably, his famous painting "The Massacre at Chios" was completed in just four days, showcasing his astonishing speed.

Some of Delacroix's renowned works include "The Entry of the Crusaders into Constantinople" and "July 28, 1830." These two paintings exhibit complex compositions, with figures in constant motion. They depict significant historical events with intensity and dynamism.
