What are Delacroix paintings worth?
1 Answer

What Delacroix paintings are worth depends on their history, size, condition and other factors. In 2018, the artist’s oil on canvas animal painting Tigre jouant avec une tortue sold for more than $9.8 million at auction in New York City. Dramatic and romantic content characterized the central themes of his late career. It led Delacroix not to the classical models of Greek and Roman art but to travel in North Africa in search of the exotic. The aforementioned painting and other works were the product of his international adventures. Delacroix has come to be regarded from the outset of his career as the leader of the French Romantic school. If you're in possession of a Delacroix, consider having a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer perform an expert evaluation for you. Find a variety of Eugène Delacroix art on 1stDibs.
