- Applicability: Though initially painted to represent the French people triumphing over a crappy king, it is now widely used as a general symbol of anti-monarchism and revolution. Or plain French republicanism, since it's the Marianne.
- Common Knowledge: The painting is often misconstrued as representing The French Revolution that started in 1789. It depicts another (of many) French revolution — the July Revolution of 1830, not the 1789 one.
