\u201cMy home is definitely charming\u2026 The sight of my little garden and the beautiful aspect of my apartment always give me a feeling of pleasure\u201d<\/em> – Eug\u00e8ne-Delacroix.<\/p>\n

Grappling with the Modern<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the time of Eug\u00e8ne-Delacroix, the theme of the holy angles was very common<\/a>. The Catholic tradition had granted these divine beings the role of protectors. On the other hand, Delacroix chooses to represent a darker aspect of the angels. At the Chapel, he dedicates three paintings to the holy protectors: first Jacob wrestling with the angel<\/em><\/a>, second on the ceiling St. Michael Vanquishing Satan<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and third The Expulsion of Heliodorus from the Temple<\/em><\/a>. Delacroix chose a very different kind of angles. He depicted fighter angels, armed angels and avenging angels.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The evocation of the angelical battle was deliberate. Delacroix\u2019s interpretation of the biblical episodes of Jacob and Heliodorus was very personal.<\/p>\n

These are the masterful expressions of Delacroix\u2019s talent. The clash with angels exalts the inner truth of an artistic combat, a modern combat.<\/p>\n

A total artwork in the Chapelle des Saint-Anges, which manifests Delacroix\u2019s incessant struggle with his creation.<\/p>\n

In the intimacy of the artist<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cPainting harasses and torments me in a thousand ways, and pulls me to the truth, as the most demanding mistress. But where does it come from? This eternal struggle, instead of slaughtering me, it relieves me, instead of discouraging me, it consoles me. But when did I left it?\u201d<\/em> Eug\u00e8ne-Delacroix, Journal, January 1st 1861.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Throught The Expulsion of Heliodorus from the Temple<\/em><\/a>, Delacroix makes a direct reference to his spectacular painting from 1827,<\/p>\n

The Death of Sardanapalus<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Expulsion of Heliodorus from the Temple<\/em><\/a> and The Death of Sardanapalus<\/em><\/a>, two artworks evoking, one and the other. It is not only the expression of a violent episode, but also the inevitable death of a hero \u2013 a fallen king for Sardanaple, and a corrupt minister for Heliodorus.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jacob\u2019s incredible desire to win is insatiable. In his writings, Delacroix emphasized Jacob fights with stubborn resistance and relentless.
\nA metaphor of the artistic creation, a tireless struggle, which Delacroix clearly depicted on his artworks. The struggle of being both master and servant, winner and loser.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The struggle of Jacob with the Angel has become a new art motif, the motif of the man struggling for his destiny and his creation.<\/p>\n

This modern struggle remained as a personal struggle.<\/p>\n
