The Combat of the Giaour and Hassan

Eugène Delacroix · 1826 · Oil on canvas

The Combat of the Giaour and Hassan is the title of three works by the French Romantic painter Eugène Delacroix, produced in 1826, 1835 and 1856. They all show a scene from Lord Byron's 1813 poem The Giaour, with the Giaour ambushing and killing Hassan, the Pasha, before retiring to a monastery. Giaour had fallen in love with Leila, a slave in Hassan's harem, but Hassan had discovered this and had her killed.
