Answer: French artist personified liberty as a female figure.
Explanation: Artists in the eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries started representing nations in human forms. Nations were then portrayed as female figures.
The female form was chosen to personify the nation did not stand for any particular woman in real life; rather it sought to give an abstract idea of the nation in a concrete form. That is, the female figure became an allegory of the nation.
In France, she was christened Marianne, a popular Christian name, which underlined the idea of a people's nation. Her characteristics were drawn from those of Liberty and the Republic- the red cap, the tricolour, the cockade.
