This groundbreaking publication centers on a previously unknown variation of Eugne Delacroixs (17981863) dramatic masterpiece The Last Words of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, published here for the first time. This book offers a compelling reassessment of the relationship of the artist, widely considered a primary exemplar of Romanticism, to Neoclassical themes, as demonstrated by his life-long fascination with the death of Marcus Aurelius. Through this investigation, the authors reinterpret Delacroixs lineage to such fellow artists as Jean-Auguste Dominique Ingres (17801867) and Jacques-Louis David (17481825). Playing on the various interpretations of the word finish, the book also offers a fascinating account of Delacroixs famously troubled collaboration with his studio assistants, his conflicted feelings about pedagogy, and his preoccupation with the fate of civilizations.
