🎨 Who was Paul Delaroche?
Paul Delaroche (1797–1856) is a key figure of 19th-century French academic painting. Trained at the Beaux-Arts in Paris, he quickly established himself as a master of romantic realism, combining historical accuracy, dramatic emotion, and pictorial elegance.
His art, deeply narrative, stages the great tragic episodes of European history, often through moving female figures or moments of political upheaval. His dramatic scenes in painting, such as The Execution of Lady Jane Grey or The Children of Edward, stand out for their psychological intensity and formal perfection.
Paul Delaroche is also a painter of detail and light, capable of capturing a glance, a tear, a suspended gesture in a carefully reconstructed universe. This ability to blend historical truth and romantic sensitivity makes him a unique artist, admired in major museums and private collections worldwide.

🔍 Thematic Zoom – The Execution of Lady Jane Grey
Few works embody the art of Paul Delaroche as powerfully as The Execution of Lady Jane Grey (1833). Preserved at the National Gallery in London, this painting is considered an absolute masterpiece of French academic painting, and one of the most moving of 19th-century historical art.
