July Revolution
July 27, 1830
Three days of Parisian barricades - "les trois glorieuses" - overthrew Charles X and the older Bourbon line for good. Louis-Philippe, the "citizen king," was installed by bankers and newspapermen. Delacroix painted a bare-breasted Liberty leading the people. It was the first successful revolution since 1789, and a template for 1848.
