The painting is a masterpiece with many allegorical symbols of the moment when a tyrannical king drove the people of affluent, middle, and lower classes to anarchy.
The naked woman carrying the flag of revolution (today the national flag of France) is a symbol of liberty stripped bare to reveal that which nurses infants of revolt but which also carries a rifle, and is looking aside to the people that follow.
The painter himself is depicted in the top hat.
The dead and naked soldiers at the base of the pyramid design depict the soldiers of the last Bourbon King left dying and naked in shame.
I've always questioned the interpretations of alleged masterpiece paintings.
Was what you said above the actual words of the artist or merely an "expert's" opinion of what they think the artist was trying to convey?
