"The Abduction of Rebecca" is an 1846 oil painting by the French Romantic artist Eugène Delacroix. This work is inspired by a scene from Sir Walter Scott's historical novel "Ivanhoe," which was first published in 1819. The novel, set in 12th-century England, features a mix of historical and fictional characters navigating the societal and political complexities of the time. Delacroix, known for his vivid color and dramatic expression, captures a pivotal moment in the narrative where Rebecca, a beautiful and virtuous Jewish woman, is kidnapped by the Templar knight Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert.

Delacroix's painting is a testament to his fascination with literary subjects and his ability to translate the drama and emotion of narrative into visual form. The work is characterized by its dynamic composition, rich color palette, and the intense emotional exchange between the characters. It reflects the artist's interest in themes of chivalry, passion, and the exotic, which were common in the Romantic movement.

The painting is also notable for its historical context, as Delacroix created it during a period of significant political change and social upheaval in France. The July Monarchy, under which Delacroix had received significant commissions, was nearing its end, and the revolutionary spirit of the time is often reflected in the artist's choice of subjects that emphasize struggle and emotion.

"The Abduction of Rebecca" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as an example of Delacroix's mature style. It is part of a larger body of work by the artist that explores similar themes and demonstrates his ongoing engagement with literature, history, and the human experience. The painting can be seen as a bridge between the Romantic movement and the emerging Realist and Symbolist movements that would follow, showcasing Delacroix's influence on the trajectory of 19th-century European art.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the Romantic period and its enduring impact on the visual arts.
