1840, Eugène Delacroix, The Shipwreck of Don Juan -- Louvre Museum (Paris)
From the museum label: The theme of the boat lost in the middle of the waves inspired Delacroix throughout his career. Here he gives a particularly morbid interpretation, taken from Byron: Don Juan and his companions, lacking food, draw lots for which of them will be sacrificed. [Le thème de la barque perdue au milieu des flots inspira Delacroix tout au long de sa carrière. Il en donne ici une interprétation, tirée de Byron, particulièrement morbide: Don Juan et ses compagnons, manquant de nourriture, tirent au sort celui d'entre eux qui sera sacrifié.]
