Liberty Leading the People

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.02 sec.

Liberty Leading the People

Painting by the French artist Eugèe Delacroix 1830 (Louvre, Paris). It represents the French revolution of 1830 and its three-day war of the barricades in Paris, 27–29 July 1830.

The events, which led to the abdication of Charles X and the proclamation of Louis Philippe as king, are treated realistically except for the allegorical figure of Liberty.
