  1. Visual Rhetoric By: Joshua Meador

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. What is the purpose? • The purpose of the artwork was to inspire the French people to keep fighting for their cause. To “follow liberty.”

  5. Can you find a metaphor within the artwork? • The woman is a metaphor for, obviously, liberty. She is a symbol of freedom and justice.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.
