Artist had started representing a country as if were a person .Nations were portrayed as female figures.The female forms that were chosen to personify the nation did not stand for any particular women in real life;rather it sought to give the abstract idea of the nation a concreate form.Infact , female figure became a allegory of the nation.
For example In France she was christened Marianne , which underlined the idea of the people's nation.Her characteristics were drawn from those of liberty and the Republic.
Similarly Germania became the allegory of German nation ,a female figure wearing a crown of oak leaves, as the German oak stands for heroism.
