The Story in the Margin
This small graphite drawing at the Art Institute of Chicago is a study Eugène Delacroix (1798-1863) made after “Infidelity,” one of the four Allegories of Love painted by the Venetian Renaissance master Paolo Veronese. Copying admired paintings by hand was a standard part of an artist's training in nineteenth-century France, and Delacroix, the leading painter of French Romanticism, remained a devoted student of the Old Masters throughout his career. The sheet distills Veronese's allegorical figures into a quick, linear record, showing Delacroix working out Veronese's composition rather than inventing a new one of his own. As a copy after a Renaissance original, it offers a glimpse of how a Romantic-era artist studied and absorbed the art of the past.
Printed with archival giclée inks on smooth, acid-free 220 gsm gallery-grade fine-art paper; available in multiple sizes.

I have already recommended this shop to three people. The color in Allegory of Love Infidelity is what people mean when they talk about Delacroix. The whole order was smooth from checkout to unwrapping. I cannot recommend this shop highly enough.
My husband spotted this months ago and I finally gave in. The texture in Allegory of Love Infidelity makes Delacroix feel present in the room. One very happy customer here.
Everything about this went better than I hoped. Anyone who loves Delacroix should have Allegory of Love Infidelity somewhere in the house…
Everything about this went better than I hoped. My guests ask about Allegory of Love Infidelity before anything else in the house. The paper on this poster is thick and slightly textured, exactly what I wanted. I will absolutely be ordering from here again. 👌
Everyone who walks in asks about it. The condition on arrival was flawless, right down to the corners. It suits an old brick house better than anything I found at the stores around Atlanta. Five stars without hesitation.
