About this listen

Eugène Delacroix's "Liberty Leading the People" encapsulates the revolutionary zeal of urban civil war, capturing a pivotal moment of French history.  It  captures the raw spirit of revolution where anyone and everyone can become a revolutionary when the tide turns too far. 

Even those who have not borne a single arm in their lives. 


his  masterpiece embodies an iconic representation of the French revolution but garnished with the raw effervescence of French Romanticism, As Delacroix himself wrote, "I have painted for her," and indeed, he has painted for us all.
