# The Abduction of Rebecca [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [DELACROIX, Eugène]() - Date: 1801-1850 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 105 x 81,5 cm ## Commentary Delacroix's treatment of subjects from fashionable works frequently raised critical hackles, and he was assailed in the name of good taste, the Beautiful, and the Ideal. A notable victim of such disparagement was the scene drawn from Scott's Ivanhoe. The version of the The Abduction of Rebecca, now in the Louvre, was exhibited at the 1859 Salon, and shows Rebecca carried off by Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert, while in the background flames engulf Torquilstone Castle. ## Related artworks - [A Mad Woman]() - [A Moroccan Saddling a Horse]() - [A Mortally Wounded Brigand Quenches his Thirst]() - [A Vase of Flowers on a Console]() - [A Young Tiger Playing with its Mother]() - [Apollo Slays Python \(detail\)]() - [Apollo Slays Python]() - [Apollo Slays Python]() - [Apollo Vanquishing the Python]() - [Arab Fantasia]() - [Arab Horses Fighting in a Stable]() - [Aspasia]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
