1822 -1863 · Heroines, models, holy women and orientalist gaze
In Delacroix, women carry opposing registers: Shakespearean heroine, workshop model, sacred witness or figure of Algiers becomes the center of a painting of color, memory and tension.
Eugène Delacroix addresses the female figure through literature, religion, model study and travel. Lady Macbeth sleepwalking transforms Shakespeare's guilt into a nocturnal apparition; the holy women surrounding Christ or helping Saint Sebastian give the gesture of care a sacred intensity. The nudes and studio portraits explore flesh, fabric and pose without always providing the identity of the model. The 1832 trip to Morocco and Algiers opens up another ensemble. The 1832 trip to Morocco and Algiers opens up another ensemble. Women of Algiers in their apartment, presented at the Salon of 1834, is reconstructed in Paris from drawings, notes and memory. Its colorful force had a profound impact on modern painting. The work remains nevertheless linked to the French conquest of Algeria and the masculine orientalist gaze: access, intimacy and silence of the women represented today require critical reading. The selection "Women at Eugène Delacroix" notably compares Women of Algiers in their apartment and Lady Macbeth walking in her sleep. His reading favors drawing.
Delacroix makes the female figure a focus of color and drama, but pictorial power never cancels out the historical conditions of the gaze.
