Why did Delacroix draw inspiration from Rubens and Venetian Renaissance painters?

  • For their use of chiaroscuro

  • For their emphasis on form

  • For their emphasis on colour and movement

  • For their portraiture

Answer

Eugène Delacroix drew inspiration from Rubens and Venetian Renaissance painters because they both emphasised colour and movement in their work. Rubens used bright, vibrant colours to create a sense of energy and excitement, while the Venetian Renaissance painters used light and shade to create a sense of depth and movement. Delacroix adopted these techniques in his own work, using colour and movement to create dramatic and expressive paintings.
