Eugène Delacroix
c. 1830
Oil on canvas
Romanticism
The Louvre
Often mistaken for a depiction of the French revolution of 1789, Delacroix's 'Liberty Leading the People' is actually from the July Revolution of 1830. The piece is a beautiful example of Romanticism, with the scene centering around Liberty, personified by Marianne, the embodiment of the French Republic.
