1829, Eugene Delacroix, The Murder of the Bishop of Liege -- Louvre Museum (Paris)
From the museum label: Delacroix painted the most violent episode in [Walter] Scott's [1823] novel [Quentin Durward]: after invading the bishop's castle, William de la Marck, leader of the Liege rebels, has the bishop murdered during a feast. This candle-lit scene depicts the commotion of the moment, the barbarity of the crowd.
