Liberty Leading the People, Eugene Delacroix, 1830

This video, by smarthistoryvideos, unfortunately cuts out before it's supposed to end, but it still gives a good explanation of the 1830 Revolution on the streets of Paris as rendered by the painterly genius of Eugene Delacroix.

These were beautiful. I loved his display of motion,from the fabric rippling and trees swaying.
he really captured the mystery of the east. I also liked his use of light in the Vase of Flowers.
But my favorite is the Orphan Girl.You just want to stare at that painting, wanting to know about her,
and what she is looking at.
