Artist ID:
Ferdinand Victor Eugène Delacroix (*26 April 1798 in Charenton-Saint-Maurice, Paris; † 13 August 1863 in Paris) was a French painter of the late Romantic period. Because of the liveliness of his imagination and because of his generous use of colors, he is considered to be the pioneer of Impressionism and every year he exhibited paintings in the Paris Salon whose passionate subjects caused a sensation and often shocked them. Delacroix's works are assigned to the French late romanticism, but he refused to be added to the increasingly popular trend of the romantic school. He became the model for many impressionists who decidedly differentiated themselves from the romantic school and classicism.

Our Mission and Actions
At THE ART HUB, our mission is initially focused on addressing a profound imbalance within the art world, specifically catering to women artists. In the current landscape, a mere 5% to 15% of artworks traded at auctions are created by women, starkly contrasted by the overwhelming 85% to 95% of works by male artists. This disparity is not only confined to auctions but is also prevalent in exhibitions, where male-created art significantly overshadows that of their female counterparts.
By concentrating our efforts on female artists, THE ART HUB aims to counteract this imbalance and champion women within the art community. This initiative is designed to amplify the visibility of women artists, making their creations more accessible to a wider audience, and ultimately striving for a more balanced representation of genders within art auctions and exhibitions. By prioritizing women in art, our platform boldly advocates for equality and diversity within the art sector, signaling a commitment to reshaping and enriching the cultural landscape.
