1818 -1863 · Self-portrait, inner circle and public figures
Self-portrait, Lucile Le Guillou, Léon Riesener and Sultan of Morocco show Delacroix between artist identity, family loyalty, friendship and diplomatic representation.
Portrait occupies a less abundant place in Eugène Delacroix than history painting, but it reveals his personal circle and his conception of presence. His self-portraits, from the romantic young man to the painter in the green vest, control an image made of reserve, tension and direct gaze. Lucile or Lucille Virginie Le Guillou belongs to the family of Jenny Le Guillou, governess and indispensable close friend of the artist; the portrait therefore links pictorial work and domestic intimacy. Léon Riesener, cousin and painter, is represented with the attention due to an artistic companion. Alfred Bruyas, Frédéric Villot, George Sand and other friends or sponsors draw a network cultural. The Sultan of Morocco belongs to the diplomatic context of the 1832 trip and asks to distinguish individualized portrait, costume study and European gaze. Delacroix uses a freer touch than the smooth academic portrait, but retains a firm construction of the face, clothing and background. The selection "Portraits of Eugène Delacroix" notably compares Portrait of the artist, known as Portrait of Delacroix as Hamlet, formerly known as Portrait of Delacroix as Ravenswood and Portrait of Lucile Virginie Le Guillou. His reading favors details.
Delacroix's portrait captures less a perfect pose than a tension: the face remains stable while the material around it continues to vibrate.
