Journey to Spain and North Africa
As part of the diplomatic mission of Charles-Edgar de Mornay, Delacroix traveled to Morocco shortly after the French conquest of Algeria. The journey proved a turning point: he made dozens of sketches, and his impressions of North Africa nourished his art for the rest of his life.

Decoration of the Salon du Roi in the Palais Bourbon

1834
"Women of Algiers in their Apartment"
From covert sketches of women made in Algiers, Delacroix painted Women of Algiers in their Apartment.
