"The July Monarchy: A Revolution for Liberty and Change" In the midst of political turmoil and social unrest, a series of iconic artworks capture the essence of the July Monarchy in France during the early 19th century. "Liberty Leading the People" by Eugène Delacroix stands as a powerful symbol, depicting a fearless woman leading an uprising on July 28th, 1830. This oil painting portrays the spirit of revolution that engulfed Paris during this time. The events surrounding the July Revolution are vividly portrayed through various mediums. An intriguing print from 1830 showcases scenes from this historic event, while another oil painting captures Louis-Philippe I taking an oath on August 9th, solidifying his reign as king. The colorful lithograph titled "The July Monarchy" depicts Louis-Philippe I's rule with grandeur and authority. Artworks such as "Capture of the Louvre on July 29, 1830" highlight pivotal moments during this period when people took to arms to fight for their rights. Gavroche Collecting Cartridges, " depicted in both oil on canvas and black-and-white photography, immortalizes one brave individual amidst chaos. Louis Philippe himself is featured prominently in several paintings; one shows him signing the Proclamation of Lieutenant Generalship while another captures an act of courage displayed by him on July 28th, 1830.

These artworks provide glimpses into a transformative era where liberty was fought for and ideals were tested against oppressive regimes.
