When I saw “Liberty leading the people” for the first time, I was not too impressed (to me it looked like any other antique painting that tries to make you feel puzzled with all the activity going on in it).
“Liberty leading the people” is known to be a political poster.
Even though, “Liberty leading the people” was done in other times, where wars were fought differently, I found a lot of similarities to the war of today.

 Liberty Leading the People - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Liberty Leading the People (French: La Liberté guidant le peuple) is a painting by Eugène Delacroix commemorating the July Revolution, and specifically the events of the 28 July 1830 in the centre of Paris.
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.
Delacroix depicted Liberty as both an allegorical goddess-figure and a robust woman of the people, an approach that contemporary critics denounced as "ignoble".

If you can imagine the painting, "Liberty Leading the People," springing to life, you can get some idea of the galvanizing impact the singer Marzieh made on a largely Iranian audience Saturday at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood.
Marzieh entered to tremendous applause, which redoubled when she kissed one of the Iranian flags at the side of the stage.
At the break, when people carried flowers to her, one man knelt and kissed her hand, as did a young violinist when she distributed the flowers to the orchestra.

 Libert Leading the People, by E. Delacroix
Delacroix's most overtly Romantic and perhaps most influential work is Liberty Leading the People (La Liberté guidant le peuple), a semi-allegorical glorification of the idea of liberty.
The painting shows a young woman, surnamed Liberty (a noun of feminine gender in French), who is leading the Parisian uprising.
Armed with a weapon, firmly held in her right hand, and with the Drapeau Tricolore (the flag of the earlier revolution of 1789) in the right one, she seems to be fully protected by her splendid femininity, by her charm and by her firm convictions.

It shows the allegorical figure of Liberty as a half-draped woman wearing the traditional Phrygian cap of liberty and holding a gun in one hand and the tricolor in the other.
Allegory helps achieve universality in the painting: Liberty is not a woman; she is an abstract force.
It seems to me that what unites the people involved with LastSuperpower is that we all see the centrality of standing for global democratic revolution and the enlightenment against the forces of reaction and darkness.

This painting, which is a sort of political poster, is meant to celebrate the day of 28 July 1830, when the people rose and dethroned the Bourbon king.
Despite this, the painter, who had been a member of the National Guard, took pleasure in portraying himself in the figure on the left wearing the top-hat.
It is strikingly realistic; Delacroix, the young man in the painting wearing the opera hat, was present on the barricades in July 1830.

Delacroix was a humanitarian, and his subjects were largely chosen in response to the tumultuous times in which he lived.
Liberty Leading the People and Greece Expiring on the Ruins of Missolonghi in particular showed his love of allegory in painting, the former depicting representatives of each of the social classes of France following an anthropomorphic Liberty, and the latter depicting Greece as a single grieving woman.
