Delacroix’s Liberty Leading The People!
The acknowledged leader of the Romantic school of French Painters, Eugene Delacroix painted his beautiful Liberty Leading the People in 1830. It is masterfully reproduced here on this stunning 500 Francs CFA Cameroon legal-tender coin struck in ten grams of highly pure 99.9% fine silver. The painting commemorates the events of the July Revolution in France that removed Charles X, the restored Bourbon king, from the throne. The painted was initially received with mixed reviews, but has since gone on to become Delacroix’s most influential work, famous for its allegorical and political significance. Today, the large 8' 6" x 10' 8" painting is one of the most famous paintings in Art History and is seen as a universal symbol of liberty, equality, and fraternity.
An Allegorical Representation Of Liberty Inspired By Citizen Protests
This coin boasts digital printing to reproduce the dynamic image in full color and comes with an impressive Proof finish, meaning it was expertly crafted from hand-selected planchets, polished dies, and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields digital printing. The figure of Liberty is also viewed as a symbol of France and the French Republic known as Marianne—the French equivalent of our own Lady Liberty. Often mistaken for a depiction of the French Revolution of 1789, the image was inspired by events that took place more than 40 years later. Delacroix was moved to undertake the painting after witnessing violent street protests in the summer of 1830 and completed the work in just three months. Although prevented from taking part in the rebellion himself due to his dependence on royal commissions, Delacroix later said, “If I haven’t fought for my country at least I’ll paint for her!” The painting is currently housed in the world-famous Louvre Museum in Paris.
