Скачать или смотреть The Stone That Still Screams — La Marseillaise |

Commissioned in 1833 by King Louis-Philippe and completed in 1836, François Rude’s colossal relief La Marseillaise—officially titled The Departure of the Volunteers of 1792—celebrates the citizen-soldiers who defended revolutionary France. At its center, a winged Liberty (sometimes called the Genius of Liberty) cries out, summoning ordinary people to arms. Around her surge figures of farmers, workers, and students, embodying sacrifice, unity, and the fierce spirit of the Revolution.
It remains one of the most powerful patriotic sculptures of the 19th century, blending neoclassical grandeur with Romantic passion
