OriginalLiberty Leading the People, a commemorative painting of the French Revolution of 1830, by eminent Romantic artist Eugène Delacroix.
Reason
This was nominated in 2010, and appears to have gotten sidetracked by editing and failed to get enough support. To me, it's a large, high quality, well used file, which as with all my nominations, I stumbled upon accidentally and said "this is a large, high quality, well used file, why isn't an FP?". Well here we are.
