The 'Monday Gallery' - few, if any, words and just a painting or piece of art that has some resonance or link to contemporary events.
Liberty Leading the People ('La Liberté guidant le peuple') 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.
