The paintings of Eugene Delacroix are as political, complex, tumultuous, and vivid as the life of Lord Byron, who inspired some of Delacroix's best works, such as Greece Expiring on the Ruins of Missolonghi and Scenes des massacres de Scio. Simultaneously, the paintings boast an incredible mélange of the artistic traditions of prior masters and movements—such as a preoccupation with terribilitas from Michelangelo; a flair for color from Titian; and power, strength,and exuberance from Rubens—all underlain by the harmony and balance of classical artists and tinted with the Baroque. Delacroix combined eclectic elements and infused them with his own genius, creating a unique expression of Romanticism, and in so doing, inspired yet another style, Symbolism.
Consider each of the following answer choices separately and select all that apply.

The passage suggests that which of the following are NOT unique elements of the paintings of Delacroix?

A. A tint of the Baroque
B. A preoccupation with terribilitas
C. Diverse artistic traditions mixed with Delacroix’s own acumen



According to the passage, Delacroix’s painting Scènes des massacres de Scio was influenced by

A. Greece Expiring on the Ruins of Missolonghi
B. a mix of artistic traditions
C. the life of Lord Byron
D. prior masters and their movements
E. the Baroque period

QUESTION 1

Because this is a NOT question, you are looking to eliminate answer choices that are unique elements of Delacroix’s work in the passage. You will And the statement: Delacroix combined eclectic elements and infused them with his own genius, creating a unique expression ofRomanticism.Therefore eclectic elements and own genius are the ingredients in his unique expression. Eliminate choice (C), which paraphrases and reiterates this thought; you need a choice describing what is NOT unique. Choices (A) and (B) are also supported in the passage as elements that Delacroix borrowed from an entire period, in the case of choice (A), or from another artist, in the case of choice (B).Because he borrowed those elements, they are not unique and are correct answers.

QUESTION 2

The painting in the question is mentioned in the first sentence of the passage:The paintings of Eugene Delacroix are as political, complex, tumultuous, and vivid as the life of Lord Byron, who inspired some of Delacroix’s best works, such Greece Expiring on the Ruins of Missolonghi and Scènes des massacres de Scio.Therefore, Lord Byron inspired the painting in question, so choice (C) is correct.Choice (A) is a painting that was also inspired byByron but is not the inspiration for the painting in the question.Choices (B), (D), and (E) are all mentioned elsewhere in the passage, but do not answer the question asked.
