In 1865 when the American Civil War was close to the end, a French historian Edouard de Laboulaye suggested that France should create and give to the United States a statue that would symbolize the nation’s success in building a viable democracy. However, because of the lock of money, the work on the statue didn’t start until the end of 1875.

Many attribute the evolution of the French revolution as the catalyst for redirection of the style of artwork from Baroque and Rococo to Neoclassical and Romanticism. Two leading masterpieces that support this aspect are respectively: Jacques-Louis David, Oath of the Horatii, (c. 1784) and Eugène Delacroix, Liberty Leading the People, (c. 1830). As commented in Essential Humanities (2016), the French revolution “in all its heroic glory and grisly destruction” (par. 10) is masterfully portrayed in Delacroix 's personification of liberty. In addition, the summons for commitment to the cause of freedom is classically rendered in David 's vow of victory or death. Within this essay both of these paintings are examined in regards to their connection to the French revolution.

The best option would be to keep these statues in their original place or in a museum only if an updated supplemental statue or plaque is added that indicates how things are different at the present time. By keeping the Confederate statues and plaques inside a museum, the message those pieces present can be controlled by presenting them with additional context; doing so will allow the stricter presentation of information preventing the further empowerment of groups that wish to use the statues to represent hate in modern society. Pitcaithley recalled that in New Mexico on the Santa Fe Plaza Obelisk monument that represented Native Americans, an “activist carved out [racial slurs]” (Pitcaithley). Instead of masking the vandalism the state decided to take this opportunity and enlighten the locals about racism and how a lifeless monument, that they have become desensitized to, can cause such an enormous hate towards certain groups of

The United States of America’s history is extensive and full of social and political issues. One word dominates the character of the country: liberty. The Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor symbolizes the first glimpse immigrants will get of America. Patrick Henry’s quote, “give me liberty or give me death!” is a constantly-cited piece from the eve of the American Revolution.

Fryd critics issues in public art, as well as an analysis in the historical developments in public art in America. He interprets the art of the United States Capital as an ideological tool for promotion of the nineteen-century American expansionist polices and displacement of Native Americans from the land.

Father and I arrived in New York two months ago. The city seemed so beautiful compared to the dull sea we had just traveled. The passage here took 20 days and was very tedious. We were in the steerage where it was extremely crowded, and had horrible conditions. We got barely any food, it was worse than Dublin. Just after we left from Liverpool, I knew it was going to be a horrible journey. That passage made all the excitement of America go away, only to be renewed when we saw land. The “Statue of Liberty” was the first thing we saw and everyone came on deck and started celebrating, because we knew we were one step closer to freedom.
