Delacroix Liberty Leading the People Mug - Red

This red porcelain mug features a detail from Eugène Delacroix's painting Liberty Leading the People.

Mug featuring Eugène Delacroix's "Liberty Leading the People" (28 July 1830). Oil on canvas exhibited in Paris, at the Musée du Louvre.
The popular insurrection of 27, 28 and 29 July 1830 in Paris, also known as the July Revolution, led by liberal republicans against the violation of the constitution by the Second Restoration government, overturned Charles X, the last Bourbon King of France, and replaced him with Louis Philippe, Duke of Orléans. Witness to the event, Delacroix found a modern subject for a painting that he could depict with the same romantic fervour he had applied to the Greek War of Independence.
