More about this artwork

Eugène Delacroix's painting "Tam O’Shanter Pursued by the Witches" (1849) vividly captures a scene from Robert Burns' poem "Tam o' Shanter." In this dramatic and intense artwork, Delacroix portrays the climactic moment when Tam, riding his horse at full speed, is chased by a group of witches under a moonlit sky. The composition draws attention to the movement and urgency of Tam’s escape as he desperately tries to reach the safety of the bridge, beyond which the witches cannot follow.Delacroix's masterful use of dramatic lighting and shadow, along with rich, energetic brushstrokes, enhances the feeling of danger and supernatural terror. The moon casts a ghostly light over the scene, illuminating the figures and creating stark contrasts that underline the otherworldly and menacing atmosphere.The painting is a magnificent example of Delacroix’s skill in combining narrative depth with dynamic composition and atmospheric tension, bringing to life the chilling excitement of Burns’ classic poem.
