Answer 1

Delacroix

Step-by-step explanation:

• At the time of the July Revolution of 1830. Delacroix showed a strong patriotic fervor, characteristic of the Romantics, though he himself did not participate in tumultuous historical events.
• Nevertheless, his work "Liberty leading the people" is an echo of the substance of the events of that time. T
• he composition is organized dynamically, the movement in it is pronounced, light, dark and surfaces that are in the shade suggest depth and achieve a complete illusion of space.
• The main means of expression is color and its line and form are subordinated to it.
• The figures are allegorical, each representing a social stature, while at the center of this parable is "Mother France" - a young, bare-chested girl who decisively bears the French flag.
