The first exhibition on this French Romantics’ ideas about the music of painting. He attributed the expressive power of an art work to the intimate connection between the harmonies of music and the flow of line and color in a painting’s composition. In addition, Delacroix’s oeuvre motifs are often taken from musical performances. An extraordinary book that delves into Delacroix’s musical philosophy, its application in his work, and its influence on the work of other artists.
