A follow-up to this, chasing Delacroix's quote back a year:

Art critic Léon Peisse in 1849, in a review of a work by Delacroix:

> La vérité esthétique n’est pas l’exactitude. (Aesthetic truth is not exactitude.)

Then Delacroix writes in his journal in 1850, and says it better:

> La froide exactitude n’est pas l’art. (Cold exactitude is not art.)

Una scoperta affascinante scuote il mondo dell’arte: un ritratto inedito attribuito a Edgar Degas, raffigurante la Contessa di Castiglione, è stato autenticato tramite analisi scientifiche e strumenti digitali. Il celebre “digitus rigidus” nella mano della figura conferma il legame con le fotografie di Pierson. Un’opera che racconta intrighi politici, evoluzione stilistica e il passaggio di Degas verso una pittura più introspettiva. #arte #Degas #cultura
