Still Life | Eugène Delacroix

Still Life with Dahlias, Zinnias, Hollyhocks and Plums (c. 1835) by Eugène Delacroix (French, 1798–1863) is a richly coloured and dynamic composition that reflects the Romantic master’s expressive style and fascination with natural beauty. The bouquet, bursting with dahlias, zinnias, and hollyhocks, is vibrantly contrasted with the deep purples of ripe plums, all arranged with a sense of movement and theatricality. Delacroix’s use of bold brushwork and dramatic lighting gives the still life an emotional depth, elevating the traditional genre with his characteristic intensity and painterly freedom.
