A brave woman leads revolutionaries over a barricade, waving the French flag high in the air!
Did you know? The French government bought this painting in 1831, then took it off display after just a few months, worried its message might stir up trouble. Many people also believe the boy with the two pistols inspired Victor Hugo's character Gavroche in Les Misérables, though nobody can prove it!
