    Liberty Leading the People, the same cannot be said for every methodology. This is especially true in regards to psychoanalysis. It is difficult to apply this approach to an older artist like Delacroix. The methodology is so recent and grounded in being able to converse with the artist. In the case of Delacroix, scholars base their psychoanalytic findings on the artist’s writings, both letters and journals. While this can be useful in some cases, such as Wilkin’s use of it to determine Delacroix’s opinions

The field of psychoanalysis, founded by Sigmund Freud, views mental conditions and disturbances - depression included - as coming from often forgotten childhood experiences rooted into one’s subconscious. One of Freud’s early psychoanalytic theories regarding depression was the child “turning guilt-ridden anger on the self,” meaning that a
