Background Information• Oil painting by Eugène

Delacroix called “Liberty Leading the People”• Painted during the

summer of the French Revolution of 1830• Painting depicts the

French Revolution of 1789.

Page 3: Visual Rhetoric

What is the first thing you see?• The first thing that

caught my attention was “Liberty” (the woman holding the flag)• This catches your

attention easily because the woman is depicted slightly larger than the others. Plus she has a big colorful flag.

Page 4: Visual Rhetoric

What is the purpose?• The purpose of the

artwork was to inspire the French people to keep fighting for their cause. To “follow liberty.”

Page 5: Visual Rhetoric

Can you find a metaphor within the artwork?• The woman is a

metaphor for, obviously, liberty. She is a symbol of freedom and justice.

How was the picture relevant to the period?• The picture is

relevant because it is showing a fictional scene from the French Revolution of 1789 to inspire people during the French Revolution of 1830.

What is the logical appeal?• It is logical that the

woman in the photo is holding a French flag. This sparks patriotism in the French people. It is also logical that she has a gun...It looks pretty dangerous in this scene and a gun seems necessary.

What is the ethical appeal?• Delacroix was a very

famous French artist from the 19th century. He has painted many pictures depicting battles that relate to French history.

What is the emotional appeal?• This painting would

have appealed to the emotions of French supporters of the 1830 revolution. It would give them pride in France.
