Quote from Delacroix's journal

Paris 1850 Friday 25 January
"It has occurred to me that artists who have sufficiently vigorous style are most to be excused from exact imitation, Michelangelo, for example. When they reach a certain point, they more than make up independence and audacity for what they lose in literal truth."
Eugene Delacroix

Really enjoying his journals great insight
