 * A fun fact about Delacroix's painting "Liberty Leading the People" is that it was painted, then stolen, and finally brought back to its original place.


 * I chose this art piece because of the detail it had and I was able to work myself into it. I copy and pasted a sword into my hand so I could look like I was stabbing someone. I wanted myself to stab someone because the setting of the painting looked like a group of people on horses with swords beating down innocent people to steal or invade the city.
