The painting called "Liberty Leading The People" is one of the most influential paintings of its' time, if not the most. The artist, Eugene Delacroix started working on the artpiece after witnessing the violent events taking place during the July Revolution of 1830 in France. Finishing it merely 3 months after beginning it, Delacroix presented it at the Salon of 1831, with other influential paitings. The red Phrygian cap she is wearing is the same as those worn by the working class and made even more popularized during the French Revolution. Also within her, she is holding up the French flag and a bayonet in either hand, representing the fight they must win. All of the other people in the painting have symbolism as actual people involved in the revolution. The bottom right of the painting shows a man in a blue coat (part of the royal army) obviously deceased. The man above him holding the two pistols is a student, while the man in the top hat on Lady Liberty's left side is part of the bourgeoisie, and the other man in an apron is a craftsmen. This shows how much the revolution affected every person in France at the time.
