1820 -1861 · Hercules, Orpheus, Medea and Apollo
Hercules, Orpheus, Medea and Apollo allow Delacroix to make myth act through the body, color and struggle: civilizing music, family violence and solar victory confront each other.
Mythology offers Eugène Delacroix a repertoire of extreme passions and great settings. Hercules endearing Nereus transforms the capture of the sea god into a struggle of knotted bodies. Orpheus civilizing the wild Greeks and teaching them the arts of peace belongs to the program of the Palais Bourbon library: music becomes a cultural principle there. Medea Furious shows the moment preceding the murder of her children, concentrating love, revenge and horror in a triangular group. Apollo victorious over the serpent Python, painted on the ceiling of Apollo's gallery at the Louvre, contrasts light and chaos in a vast ascending composition. Delacroix also treats Perseus, Andromeda, Bacchus, Diana, Ovid and Egeria. He does not seek a cold or archaeologically uniform Antiquity. Myths become living structures where gesture, diagonal and colorful contrasts make moral energy visible. The selection "Mythology in Eugène Delacroix" notably compares the endearing Hercules Nereus and Orpheus comes to police the still wild Greeks and teach them the arts of Peace. His reading favors composition.
Delacroix chooses from myth the moment when everything changes: the monster gives in, music commands or passion threatens to destroy what it loves.
