Fourth in a series of six talks. Ovid Among the Scythians by Anita Brookner
In 1859, towards the end of his life, Delacroix painted a scene which sums up his rather tragic philosophy. Dr Brookner, Reader in History of Art, Courtauld Institute, London, places this painting in the National Gallery in London against the background of Delacroix's experience as an artist.
