Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 17.3 × 21.7 in print therefore arrives as 19.7 × 24 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 28.3 × 35.4 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Eugène Delacroix's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 260 × 325 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in Louvre Museum, Paris, France. Full size guide.

About the Painting

King Louis XVIII died in 1824. Charles X ascended the throne and restored the tradition of the Old Regime - choosing to be crowned in Reims in 1825. With the Ordinances of Saint-Cloud (1830), he abolished freedom of the press and changed the electoral law, sparking a revolution: on 27,28 and 29 July 1830, the population of Paris rose in revolt. These are the "three glorious days". Charles X abdicates in favour of his grandson, the Comte de Chambord. In his Memoirs, Hector Berlioz describes with gusto the intoxication of these historic moments: 'I shall never forget the appearance of Paris in those glorious days; the fanatical bravery of the boys, the enthusiasm of the men, the feverish enthusiasm of the girls of the street, the dejected resignation of the Swiss and of the royal guards, the peculiar pride of the workers in being, as they said, masters of the city and touching nothing. ' With Liberty leading the people to the barricades, Eugène Delacroix wished to magnify this upsurge and to emerge as a modern artist committed to the spirit of the age. He chooses 28 July, the second of the 'three glorious days', when the uprising takes a decisive turn. At that time, the barricade was one of the most characteristic symbols of revolutions: nearly four thousand were erected in Paris at the height of the revolt. In Delacroix's painting, a young woman wearing a republican cap, raising the tricolour in her right hand and a rifle in her left, drags a group of insurgents to the top of the barricade. At its foot are the bodies of the dead. In the background looms one of Notre Dame's towers, on which the national flag flies. Amid the gunpowder smoke, her breast bared, the woman is the image and personification of Liberty. The boy beside her, in a student black velvet beret, brandishing pistols, is the embodiment of rebellious youth; thirty years later, under the name of Gavroche, he would be immortalised by Victor Hugo in his novel Les Misérables.

Liberty Leading the People to the Barricades was accepted by the Salon jury in 1831 and was exhibited on its opening day, May 1.
