Artist: Eugène Delacroix
Year Created: 1830 (painted in the autumn following the July Revolution)
Style: French Romanticism—a whirlwind of color and emotion that broke away from classical restraint
Revolution Inspiration: Commemorates “Les Trois Glorieuses” (July 27–29, 1830), when Parisians overthrew King Charles X
Liberty’s Muse: The heroine is imagined as Marianne, a working‑class woman—possibly even based on a real washerwoman named Anne‑Charlotte who fought on the barricades
Iconic Impact: The pistol‑wielding boy helped inspire Victor Hugo’s Gavroche in Les Misérables
Aftermath: Bought by the French state in 1831, then hidden away because it was deemed too politically provocative; it wasn’t publicly hung again until after 1848
Modern Restoration: A recent Louvre restoration in 2024 stripped away eight yellowed varnish layers—restoring vibrant reds, blues, and revealing previously hidden details like a boot in the corner
