Summary
In 1839, the invention of the Daguerreotype process revolutionized visual art, triggering mixed reactions from painters such as Delacroix and Turner; while some saw photography as a threat, Delacroix became intrigued by its potential as a supplement to painting. Although initially critical of photographed nudes, Delacroix practiced drawing from photographs and made only one painting from a photograph, believing that the future could see the synthesis of painting and photography by a genius painter.
