The Massacre at Chios
''The Massacre at Chios'' ((フランス語:Scène des massacres de Scio)) is the second major oil painting by the French artist Eugène Delacroix. The work is more than four meters tall, and shows some of the horror of the wartime destruction visited on the Island of Chios. A frieze-like display of suffering characters, military might, ornate and colourful costumes, terror, disease and death is shown in front of a scene of widespread desolation.
Unusually for a painting of civil ruin during this period, ''The Massacre at Chios'' has no heroic figure to counterbalance the crushed victims, and there is little to suggest hope among the ruin and despair. The vigour with which the aggressor is painted, contrasted with the dismal rendition of the victims has drawn comment since the work was first hung, and some critics have charged that Delacroix might have tried to show some sympathy with the brutal occupiers.〔Delacroix, Lee Johnson, W.W.Norton & Company, Inc., New York, 1963. Page 19.〕 The painting was completed and displayed at the Salon of 1824 and presently hangs at the Musée du Louvre in Paris.〔(Musée du Louvre )〕
==Massacre==
A military attack on the inhabitants of Chios by Ottoman forces commenced on 11 April 1822 and was prosecuted for several months into the summer of the same year. The campaign resulted in the deaths of twenty thousand citizens, and the forced deportation into slavery of almost all the surviving seventy thousand inhabitants.〔Haskell, Francis.
