| Art, Liberty Leading the People : Eugene Delacroix Painting. This is perhaps Delacroix best-known painting, having carved its own niche in popular culture. Liberty Leading the People is a painting by Eugene Delacroix commemorating the July Revolution of 1830, which toppled Charles X. A woman personifying Liberty leads the people forward over the bodies of the fallen, holding the tricolore flag of the French Revolution in one hand and brandishing a bayonetted musket with the other. |
