Delacroix and the Rise of Modern Art

Last month while I was working in London, I was very excited because I always wanted to visit The National Gallery.
  
In those days, there was an exhibition in the Sainsbury wing (second floor into the gallery) about Delacroix paintings. 

I was in London because I had been working in a new project about cost, and I spent there around one month.
One day Bill Tsang (my workmate), invited me to The National Gallery. I was so glad because I love Eugene Delacroix "The last painter of the grand style". All human passion was expressed in Delacroix´s drawings - stories of love, murder, violence and war.
Delacroix and the Rise of Modern Art is an homage to Frances leader exponent of romanticism.

That exhibition is in London, in The National Gallery. There are a few wings and the exhibition is in the second floor (Sainsbury wing). That event started last February 17th and will finish next May 22nd - 2016.

It was so funny but expensive. I like the art and paintings, but don´t like some things like prices. In UK all is very expensive and we paid 40 (Euro) for each ticket. The painting prices were between 600.000 and 1.000.000 (Euro).
I wanted to buy a few paintings but I didn´t have enough money.

I would definitely recommend spending time in that exhibition. I think it is a good way to forget your problems or things, in fact, there were a lot of people enjoying and sharing different opinions about the art.
