Enter the intimacy of Ingres and Delacroix. Installed in the last apartment of the romantic painter, the Musée national Eugène Delacroix invites you to open the doors of his workshop and discover the treasures hidden there. We are not talking here about monumental canvases or grandiose history paintings but about precious objects that were once part of the daily life of the most fiery painter of the 19th century.

Pieces of mahogany furniture, palettes still full of colors, tobacco pot, illuminator inkwell brought back from his trip to Morocco... Added to his curiosities are those of his great rival, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. Here, a golden laurel wreath offered by the Montalbanais happy to celebrate the entry of this local child into the Senate; There, his favorite musical instrument, the violin. So many objects, witnesses of their personal tastes, their hobbies and their creation, whose only common point is to have belonged to two of the greatest French painters. An intimate exhibition to understand the personality of these two greatest enemies.
