smirli:so im sure y’all know this painting and there’s been enough people to point out that the boy next to Marianne was the inspiration for gavroche so i wont mention it againBUTyou know what else this painting inspired?the fucking june rebellionas everyone knows the painting shows the july revolution and it was exhibited for about a year after it as a memorial of sorts for the revolution because Delacroix wasn’t there when it all went down so if he couldn’t fight for his motherland he’d paint for herbut after a year the current powerholders hung it somewhere less public because they suddenly realised that it was promoting revolution (what a shocker)and then BAM a few months later June Rebellion and they gave the painting back to Delacroix so he would hide iti justit not only inspired gavroche, it inspired the whole damn rebellionSource: x -- source link
