Tokyo's National Museum of Western Art holds 3 works 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.
