Rebecca and Wounded Ivanhoe (Delacroix)

The romantic drama reaches its peak in “Rebecca and Wounded Ivanhoe”, a vibrant composition by Eugene Delacroix drawn from Walter Scott’s famous novel. Confined in the besieged fortress of Front-de-Boeuf, the brave Rebecca leans out the window to relate the course of the battle to the knight Ivanhoe, lying weakened on his bed. The opposition between the apparent tranquility of the room, with its rich hangings and woodwork, and the fiery light of the external fire visible through the window, illustrates Delacroix’s narrative genius. The orientalism of Rebecca’s costume contrasts with the European look of the knight. A bewitching canvas rich in suspense, perfect for lovers of literature and epic art.
