Liberty Leading the People is an oil painting by French Romantic artist Eugène Delacroix, created in 1830 to commemorate the July Revolution in France. It depicts the allegorical figure of Liberty — a bare-breasted woman in a Phrygian cap holding the French tricolour flag — leading armed revolutionaries over a barricade and the bodies of fallen fighters. The painting is displayed at the Louvre in Paris and is one of the defining images of French republican identity.
