Description

"Liberty Leading the People (French: La Liberté guidant le peuple) is a painting by Eugène Delacroix commemorating the July Revolution of 1830, which toppled Charles X. A woman personifying Liberty leads the people forward over the bodies of the fallen, holding the tricolore flag of the French Revolution in one hand and brandishing a bayonetted musket with the other. This is perhaps Delacroix's best-known painting, having carved its own niche in popular culture." © Wikipedia// [link]


I was like "WOW" when i saw it. Its quite big [260 cm × 325 cm (102.4 in × 128.0 in)]. The Liberty -the half naked woman :D- looks so powerfull and wonderful *.* I could just stand infront of this painting staring at it :D So about my photographic(sp?) skills, i can't say this photo turned out as i wanted to but i guess its ok :)
