Literary sources are the most important component of Delacroix painting. The first place here, undoubtedly, belongs to the English writers.
But the original “novel” was in Delacroix and Goethe – more precisely, with his “Faust”.
The artist was very fond of this work and created a series of lithographs illustrating it. This series was seen by Goethe and approved of it.
