IV. 1.1. REPUBLICAN MISUNDERSTANDINGS


MENU: 4.1.1. Republican misunderstandings

Liberty Guides the People (detail) by Eugène Delacroix,1831 / zoom
Placing the worker behind the man in the top hat reveals the artist's prejudice (please scroll down). But it corresponds to the reality of 1830, when thousands of street fighters followed about 200 students.

In brief

  • Social classes whose interests diverge 
  • Faceless poor and bourgeois heroes
  • More on bourgeois heroes
  • An intelligent ogre checks in
