A Brief Introduction to the Louvre Famous Painting "The God of Freedom Leads the People"
People's Freedom is a work created by French romantic painter Eugène Delacroix to commemorate 1830 French July Revolution. This painting was first exhibited in Paris Salon in 183 1 and later collected by the Louvre in Paris. The Statue of Liberty in the painting is wearing a Phrygia hat symbolizing freedom, naked in the chest, waving a red, white and blue tricolor flag symbolizing the French Revolution in her right hand, and holding a musket with bayonets in her left hand, calling on people behind her to rise up for revolution. The freedom to guide the people once appeared on the stamps issued by the French government in 1980, and was also printed on the 100 franc notes in 1983. His works are now in the Louvre in Paris.
