Although Delacroix was inspired by contemporary events to invoke this romantic image of the spirit of liberty, he seems to be trying to convey the will and character of the people, [16] rather than glorifying the actual event, the revolution against Charles X , which did little other than bring a different king, Louis-Philippe , to power. The warriors lying dead in the foreground offer poignant counterpoint to the symbolic female figure, who is illuminated triumphantly, as if in a spotlight. Although the French government bought the painting, officials deemed its glorification of liberty too inflammatory and removed it from public view.

Nonetheless, Delacroix still received many government commissions for murals and ceiling paintings. In , Delacroix traveled to Spain and North Africa in company with the diplomat Charles-Edgar de Mornay , as part of a diplomatic mission to Morocco shortly after the French conquered Algeria.

But from beginning to end of his life, he was in part characterized by a constant need for music, saying in , "nothing can be compared with the emotion caused by music; that it expresses incomparable shades of feeling. It was often in music, in the most melancholy renditions of Chopin, or the "pastoral" works of Beethoven that Delacroix was often able to draw the most emotion and inspiration. At one point during his life, Delacroix befriended and made portraits of the composer Chopin; in his journal, Delacroix praised him frequently.

His first large-scale treatment of a scene from Greek mythology, the painting depicts Medea clutching her children, dagger drawn to slay them in vengeance for her abandonment by Jason.

By then, the only food he could eat was fruit. Delacroix realized the seriousness of his condition and wrote his will, leaving a gift for each of his friends. For his trusted housekeeper, Jenny Le Guillou, he left enough money for her to live on while ordering everything in his studio to be sold. He also inserted a clause forbidding any representation of his features, "whether by a death-mask or by drawing or by photography. I forbid it, expressly. His house, formerly situated along the canal of the Marne , is now near the exit of the motorway leading from Paris to central Germany.
