7Liberty Leading the People by Eugène Delacroix

A symbol of revolution and freedom, Liberty Leading the People by Delacroix commemorates the July Revolution of 1830 in France. Liberty, personified as a bare-breasted woman, leads the people of Paris with a tricolor flag in hand, symbolizing the fight for justice.

This bold, vibrant painting is a powerful representation of the values of liberty, equality, and fraternity. Delacroix’s ability to combine realism with romantic fervor makes this work a must-see for anyone interested in French history and art.
