1832 -1845 · Tangier, Meknes and memory of the journey
Travel through Morocco observed by Delacroix during the diplomatic mission of 1832 then reinvented throughout his career.
Morocco experienced as a present antiquity
Delacroix accompanies the Count of Mornay on a diplomatic mission which takes him to Tangier and Meknes, before stops in Seville and Algiers. He fills his notebooks with costumes, horses, architecture, landscapes and ceremonies. Back in France, these notes become a lasting reservoir: for decades the painter took up the sultan, the guards, the horsemen and Moroccan life in compositions where memory counts as much as the document. The selection "Morocco by Eugène Delacroix" notably compares Portrait of the Sultan of Morocco - Eugène Delacroix and passage of a ford in Morocco - Eugène Delacroix. His reading favors light.
The journey does not produce a simple chronicle: it lastingly changes the way Delacroix imagines history, movement and color.
