Liberty Leading the People ( French : La Liberté guidant le peuple [la libɛʁte ɡidɑ̃ lə pœpl] ) is a painting by Eugène Delacroix commemorating the July Revolution of 1830, which toppled King Charles X of France. A woman personifying the concept and the Goddess of Liberty leads the people forward over a barricade and the bodies of the fallen, holding the flag of the French Revolution – the
tricolour , which again became France's national flag after these events – in one hand and brandishing a bayonetted musket with the other. The figure of Liberty is also viewed as a symbol of France and the French Republic known as Marianne .

By the time Delacroix painted Liberty Leading the People , he was already the acknowledged leader of the Romantic school in French painting. Delacroix, who was born as the
Age of Enlightenment was giving way to the ideas and style of romanticism, rejected the emphasis on precise drawing that characterised the academic art of his time, and instead gave a new prominence to freely brushed colour.
Delacroix painted his work in the autumn of 1830. In a letter to his brother dated 21 October, he wrote: "My bad mood is vanishing thanks to hard work. I’ve embarked on a modern subject—a barricade . And if I haven’t fought for my country at least I’ll paint for her." The painting was first exhibited at the official Salon of 1831.
