[QUOTE="Antart, post: 129314, member: 1890"]Indeed, there is a hint of Delacroix but that would be an extremely risky assessment. I was wondering whether this could be a lesser known work by Gustave Doré. It might be a stretch, especially that Doré did sign his works, and he worked mainly as an illustrator (and it almost sounds too good to be true). And yet he lived in the correct period, he used strong central lighting, and he had a romanticized style in painting. I realize that this might be a huge leap of faith. His work did focus on engravings and illustrations (which was fantastic, because his illustrations are absolutely stunning).[/QUOTE]
