Passion and Precision in the Age of Revolution is a new exhibition hosted by the Museum of Fine Arts of Boston (USA), which features about forty-five works by artists including Ingres, Delacroix, Desprez, Prud'hon, Turner, Blake, Gericault, Girodet, Flaxman, and Schinkel.

The first museum exhibition devoted exclusively to the extraordinary range of nudes by Edgar Degas -tracing their evolution from the artist's early years, through the private and public images of brothels and bathers in the 1870s and 1880s, to the post-Impressionist nudes of the end of his career- is presented by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), and the Musée d'Orsay, Paris.

Through the Musée du Louvre, Madrid will be hosting the most important exhibition of the work of the great French painter Eugène Delacroix to be organized in forty years. Caixaforum Madrid will be displaying the first retrospective in Spain of the Romantic painter, which will feature 144 works including oil paintings, works on paper and engravings.

CaixaForum Madrid, en colaboración con el Museo del Louvre, acoge la mayor retrospectiva internacional en medio siglo sobre el pintor romántico Eugène Delacroix (1798-1863). Posteriormente a su exhibición en la sede madrileña, la muestra viajará a Barcelona, donde se podrá visitar a partir del próximo mes de febrero.

"When I paint a picture, I am not writing a thought". Eugène Delacroix questioned the need for a theme in painting. According to the great French artist, what created emotion on a canvas were its artistic values  -material, light, colour-  rather than the scenes depicted in it.
