"The Prisoner of Chillon" is a painting by the renowned French Romantic artist Eugène Delacroix, created in 1834. This work of art is inspired by the poem of the same name by Lord Byron, which was published in 1816. The poem tells the story of François Bonivard, a Genevan monk and politician who was imprisoned in the Château de Chillon on Lake Geneva by the Duke of Savoy due to his defense of Geneva's freedom against the ducal house.

Delacroix, known for his vivid color and dramatic intensity, captures the essence of Byron's poem through his use of light, shadow, and expressive brushwork. The painting depicts the solitary figure of Bonivard, chained to a pillar in the dimly lit dungeon of the Château de Chillon. The composition emphasizes the themes of isolation and despair, as well as the enduring human spirit in the face of oppression.

The artwork reflects Delacroix's interest in the exotic and historical subjects, which were common themes in the Romantic movement. "The Prisoner of Chillon" is a testament to Delacroix's ability to evoke emotion and narrative through his paintings, and it remains an important example of 19th-century Romantic art. The painting is also significant for its influence on the perception of the Romantic hero and the era's political struggles for freedom and justice.
