Eugène Delacroix, better known for his dramatic history paintings, also produced quieter landscape studies during travels through the French countryside. "The Old Bridge at Mantes" depicts the historic stone bridge over the Seine at Mantes-la-Jolie, west of Paris, rendered with the loose, atmospheric brushwork Delacroix used to capture light and weather on his travels. Landscapes like this reveal a more intimate, observational side of an artist celebrated for his sweeping Romantic dramas.
