I didn't get any individual titles correct, but I at least guessed Lawrence Alma-Tadema correctly so that counts for something, doesn't it? I find pre-Raphaelite artists the easiest to identify, for some reason.

Too bad I failed to identify Delacroix despite having seen so many of his beautiful works

As a token of thanks, here is one of my Delacroix favorites - it is also based on his North African odyssey.
