Athens's National Gallery of Athens holds 1 work by Eugène Delacroix (1798–1863) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Delacroix led French Romanticism and his paintings have an energy and colour intensity that anticipates Impressionism. In person, the surfaces of his large canvases are extraordinary: spontaneous and physical, with passages of painterly virtuosity that Constable himself admired.
