Exhibition: Objets dans la peinture, souvenir du Maroc


Eugène Delacroix (1798-1863) was a painter who loved the comfort of his home. The only journey he undertook was to Morocco in 1832, and appears as a major turning point in his life. He brought back over a hundred Moroccan objects from this trip – fabrics, ceramics, music instruments, safes, weapons, hides and pieces of clothing – which he then displayed in the various workshops he worked in until his death. This Moroccan expedition presents a major interest since it is echoed throughout the artist’s work. This fascinating retrospective is exhibited at the Eugène Delacroix museum until February 2nd of 2015.

“Objets dans la peinture, souvenir du Maroc” exhibition, from November 5th 2014 to February 2nd 2015.
Open every day from 9.30am to 5.30pm.
