"Études pour le Massacre de Scio" refers to a series of preparatory studies by the renowned French Romantic artist Eugène Delacroix for his monumental painting "The Massacre at Chios," which was first exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1824. These studies are pivotal in understanding Delacroix's artistic process and the development of one of his most significant and controversial works. The final painting, now housed in the Musée du Louvre in Paris, depicts the horrific aftermath of the Chios massacre during the Greek War of Independence in 1822, where thousands of Greeks on the island of Chios were killed or enslaved by Ottoman forces.

Delacroix's preparatory works, "Études pour le Massacre de Scio," encompass a range of sketches and oil studies that explore various compositional elements, figures, and emotional expressions. These studies reveal the artist's meticulous approach to composition and his desire to evoke a visceral response from the viewer. Through these preparatory works, Delacroix experimented with the arrangement of figures, the interplay of light and shadow, and the expression of suffering and despair, which would become central to the impact of the final painting.

The "Études pour le Massacre de Scio" are significant not only for their insight into Delacroix's working method but also for their contribution to the Romantic movement's emphasis on emotion, individualism, and the sublime. These studies exemplify the artist's break from Neoclassical traditions and his exploration of new ways to convey historical narrative and human tragedy through art.

While the exact number and location of all the preparatory studies are not comprehensively documented, several are held in prestigious public and private collections worldwide. These works continue to be studied by art historians and scholars for their contribution to understanding Delacroix's oeuvre and the broader context of 19th-century European art. Through "Études pour le Massacre de Scio," Delacroix not only prepared for the creation of a masterpiece but also laid the groundwork for the modern approach to depicting historical events in a way that emphasizes emotional depth and human experience.
