保罗·德拉罗什 (Hippolyte-Paul Delaroche 1797年7月17日 - 1859年11月4日) 是法国著名的 学院画派 画家之一。
德拉罗什出身于一个富裕家庭，师从于画家格罗学 画 ，1822年首次在沙龙中展出自己的作品，在当时非常出名，一直从事美术 教学 工作，直到1843年。由于一次事故导致一位学生死亡，被迫关闭了自己的画室。他的学生中包括著名的 现实主义 画家 米勒 。
德拉罗什的绘画风格介于古典主义 画派 和 浪漫主义 画派之间，受 大卫 、 安格尔 和 德拉克罗瓦 的共同影响。作品造型稳定，立体感强，他在创作构思时，经常先用蜡制作模型研究构图，他尤其对历史题材感兴趣，创作了大量的历史题材作品，作品富于戏剧性，表现历史上重要的瞬间。他的作品经常被用版画复制，作为书籍的插图，或作为单张绘画被收藏。
保尔·德拉罗什是法国历史画中自然主义派的创始人，也算作浪漫主义画家之一。他能敏感地领悟老师格罗尚 处在矛盾中的浪漫主义情调。他33岁以前的作品主要取材于中世纪一些富有故事性的历史事件，在画面上追求情节或趣味性的描绘，特别是对环境、服饰和道具等 细节的表现显示了格外的兴趣。另外他还精于宗教画和肖像画，曾为巴黎美术学院圆形讲堂画过一幅巨型肖像壁画《艺术家们的集会》。
PAUL DELAROCHE
Paris 1797 - 1856 Paris
From his first great success at the 1824 Salon with Joan of Arc in Prison to the 1857 retrospective exhibition at the 蒫ole des Beaux-Arts following his death Paul Delaroche was one of the most popular and respected French painters of the nineteenth century. He was trained first by the landscape painter L.-E. Watelet and then by Baron Gros, who influenced his development as a history painter and later called Delaroche "the glory of my school." Delaroche's historically accurate and technically skilled style of history painting seemed to some a stylistically neutral compromise in the raging battle between classicism (exemplified by Ingres) and Romanticism (exemplified by Delacroix) and for that he has been named the leader of the "juste milieu."
Delaroche treated history from a wide range of periods, but he became particularly associated with British history, following his sensational picture of The Death of Queen Elizabeth of 1828. Delaroche was included in the most important decorative program of the Restoration, the decoration of the Louvre's Musée Charles X, for which he painted the sixteenth-century French history subject, The Death of Duranti. During the July Monarchy Delaroche continued to receive official commissions; a major work was his Hemicyle mural depicting the history of art for the 蒫ole des Beaux-Arts, commissioned in 1837. In 1832, at the age of 35, Delaroche was the youngest artist of the nineteenth century to be elected to the Institut National des Sciences et des Arts, a sign that the official hegemony of classicism was waning.
