With Peggy Reynolds.
Niccolo Paganini spent nearly 20 years working in his native Italy before he set out on a grand tour of Europe that was to make him a household name. By the time he arrived in Paris in 1831, everyone had heard rumours of how he had sold himself to the devil or murdered his mistress. It was this mysterious figure whom Eugene Delacroix painted in 1833, emerging through candelight playing his violin.
