Delacroix at the MET

Lauren A Kaplan Art Tours

Eugene Delacroix once said, “If you are not skillful enough to sketch a man jumping out of a window in the time it takes him to fall to the ground, you will never be able to produce great works.” Indeed, Delacroix was a speedy draftsman, and a forceful painter.

    Our guide was fantastic- he curated an excellent tour. We learned a lot about the art works and enjoyed walking around Chelsea. The galleries and artists were beautiful and intriguing. Although there were a lot of people in our group we never felt cramped or rushed.

    As a third time visitor to NYC this was my first visit to Chelsea. I was very pleased with the tour and the knowledge of our guide Rafael Rosenberg. The tour was planned by a friend and most likely is not something I would have found on my own. The afternoon spent in Chelsea was one of the highlights of my trip. I will most definitely do another tour my next time in New York.

    This was an excellent way to explore and understand the New York commercial art market and to see a very interesting and diverse group of artists. The tour is conducted by a knowledgable and entertaining guide. I would definitely recommend this tour to others visiting or living in New York.
