A masterwork French

Lion Hunt

Eugène Delacroix, 1798–1863, painted 1860–61

Held by The Art Institute of Chicago and released as Public domain (Art Institute of Chicago, CC0). It hangs here as a reference for a hand: paint your own line and the painters copy its brushwork, its palette and its light, and none of its subject.

Paint in this styleHang a print

A print of the scan itself, up to 20 × 30 inches from these 3,000 × 2,334 pixels. Nothing larger, because it would arrive soft.

What a seed does
The painting is the instruction. The painters take its handling, its surface and its light. Your line, or your photograph, is the only subject.
The credit
Every painting seeded from it carries “after Eugène Delacroix (1798–1863), Lion Hunt, The Art Institute of Chicago” on its plaque, and on the share page.
The licence
Public domain (Art Institute of Chicago, CC0), as the museum states it. The scan is served with that credit in its headers, and it is never upscaled.
