Delacroix Mastercopy: An online portrait drawing session
Lydia Cecil
Lydia Cecil creates a mastercopy of Eugène Delacroix’s portrait of Frédéric Chopin, using chalk and charcoal on tan-toned paper. As she works, she discusses Delacroix’s life and career, highlighting his bold use of colour, dynamic compositions, and central role in the Romantic movement. She also reflects on how his energetic brushwork and focus on emotion influenced generations of artists, from the Impressionists to the Symbolists, shaping the direction of modern European art.
