[edit] Liberty Leading the People
Mention should be made that Delacroix painted himself into the picture wearing an opera hat. There is also speculation that Liberty may have served as inspiration for the Statue of Liberty (not the costume, but the raised arm). Rklawton 04:05, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
This article is awkward and poorly written.
[edit] Expansion
In the last several days I've added to the lead, added sections on murals and later life and legacy, and made numerous copy edits, both substantive and minor, relying primarily on the 'Journal' edited by Hubert Wellington. Mainly, it needed content about work other than the three paintings already prominently covered. Though I hate to lean so heavily on one source, I do so when I believe it is not only credible scholarship, but also consistent with the consensus of sources on the subject. Such is the case here. There is, of course, ample room for more material, citing other sources. JNW 00:09, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
So I've added content from Jobert's 1997 biography. JNW 03:56, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Westminster Castle
I think this must be wrong. The college in Colarado that the link leads to was founded in the 1890s, decades after Delacroix's death. More likely his sketch references were from the medieval Westmnister Hall in London. After finding a picture of the painting in qustion, I'm now certain of it.Jefullerton (talk) 00:55, 13 April 2008 (UTC)jefullerton
