Italian Theater. Artist: Eugène Delacroix (French, Charenton-Saint-Maurice 1798-1863 Paris). Dimensions: Sheet: 10 1/16 x 7 5/16 in. (25.6 x 18.6 cm). Printer: Printed by Charles Motte (French, 1785-1836). Date: 1821.Like many young painters at work in Paris in the 1820s and 1830s, Delacroix tried out the relatively new printmaking process of lithography by making caricatures for the popular press. Such prints were usually created by drawing with a lithographic crayon directly on a block of limestone. However, in this instance, Delacroix's design was retraced and transferred from paper to stone by means of red chalk applied to the back of the drawing sheet. Reversed in the process of printing, the caricature pays homage to the composer Gioacchino Rossini (1792-1868), shown balancing leading characters from his operas Otello, Rosina, and Barber of Seville over his head. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
