Painted by Eugène Delacroix in Autumn 1830, Liberty Leading the People is an oil on canvas painting that commemorates the French Revolution of July 1830. Liberty is personified by a bare-breasted woman who leads the people to victory. She's holding the French flag in the right hand and a bayonetted musket in the left hand. As her body is leaning forward she looks back at her following. Liberty Leading the People is Eugène Delacroix most notable work.
