Meet Delacroix: The painter's painter

The way Delacroix used color in "Christ on the Sea of Galilee" (1853) inspired Vincent Van Gogh's use of color. The Dutch artist traveled to see the picture and wrote extensively about it to his brother Theo and his fellow artist Gauguin in the final year of his life.
