Three Arab Horsemen at an Encampment. Artist: Eugène Delacroix (French, Charenton-Saint-Maurice 1798-1863 Paris). Dimensions: Overall: 8 9/16 x 11 5/8 in. (21.7 x 29.6 cm). Date: ca. 1832.Delacroix's journey to North Africa in 1832 had a profound and lasting influence on his art, affecting the content and color of virtually all his subsequent work. This drawing was likely made during his travels between Tangier and Meknes, when he sketched extensively. The three men, probably Moroccan horsemen, accompanied the French diplomatic group at an encampment. Delacroix clearly reveled in the vivid colors of the red cloth draping the saddles and the contrasting blue-violet tones of the distant mountain range.

Before the Bullfight, c. 1900, Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida, Spanish, 1863 - 1923, 98 3/4 × 146 × 1 1/8 in. (250.8 × 370.8 × 2.9 cm) (canvas), Oil on canvas, Spain, 19th-20th century, Sorolla loved to paint his native town of Valencia, Spain, and was attentive to its cultural traditions and people. Here, he chose to paint a bullfight not by depicting the action in an arena but the anxious, hushed tension of the bullfighters and other participants before the spectacle. Sorolla takes us behind the scenes to the drama unfolding in the hearts of the people who have chosen to take part in this dangerous event. The artist understood the capacity for light to be meaningful, heightening the viewers senses and building tension. Here he deploys it flawlessly by contrasting the tense quiet of the foreground with the illumination that will reveal the violent event. In that peek into the packed arena, cheering crowds are a marker of the thrills to come.
