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.
Jacquard-woven as a soft, double-sided tapestry throw with fringed edges — a warm layer for the sofa or bed.
