The Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP), where this beautiful example of late Delacroix's Romantic paintings happens to be, is located in the city of São Paulo, in BRAZIL, not in Argentina. It's insulting to find this kind of error here. Wouldn't take 30 seconds to check it on Google before adding it to the database. This of lack of care and research shows disrespect to the artist, the public and the museums.

Hello Túlio,
My apologies for the mistake. Not sure who entered that museum entry, but of course they should have checked beforehand. One of the beauties of this site is that such errors can be noted and fixed. I updated the museum record so it is correct now. Thanks for your help.
