1. EUGENE DELACROIX: GREECE ON THE RUINS OF MISSOLONGHI
An arm of a dead man is protruding from underneath the rocks, and in the immediate distance stands a man holding some sort of walking stick or spear. ... The viewer's eyes are drawn to all areas of the work because of the red color connections, from the red in the woman's shoes to the red on the clothing of the dead man's arm and again on the clothing of the man in the background. ...
