From Mike Venezia:  Eugene Delacroix was born near Paris, France in 1798. As a painter, Delacroix was known for his action-filled compositions, exciting brushwork, and daring colors.

The ?Getting to Know the World?s Greatest Artists? series features numerous reproductions (10-20 in each book), photos of the artist, silly cartoons, and simple text. Venezia?s approach ? highlighting interesting parts of the artists? lives and work while keeping the subject matter simple and appropriate for young children ? makes these excellent read-alouds. Older children will enjoy reading the early chapter book-level text themselves.
