Liberty Leading the People
Eugène Delacroix1830Oil on canvas
Delacroix's iconic vision of the French July Revolution uses theatrical lighting and a tricolor palette to transform political uprising into mythological event.
Color Mood
Theatrically dramatic. The palette moves from dark brown smoke to blazing gold — light as liberation, darkness as oppression.
