Hmm... Revolution!! :/ First of all, these heroic figures... I believe they need to show off less and learn to pose! They are posing as if they are forced to pose and Marat just looks so miserable! George Washington looks all serious and not smiling at all; the last two just look so scary! Anyways, all of them share some similarities:
Similarities:
- all the 'heroes' in all the pictures are holding something in their hands such as a sword or quill! well, three of them at least had some kind of weapon in their hand - may be representing the revolution! Marat had quill; he looked miserable and more like sacrificing type of person; I guess the reason he had quill was to show the writing of some kind of document. Speaking of written document, all the pictures also had some kind of papers (written) somewhere in picture. For example, in George Washington's picture, the written paper (probably declaration of independence) is showed on the table. Also, in the next picture which was Marat's, he is holding the paper in his hand just like Toussaint Louveture. Even in the last picture which was Bolivar's, there is a certain type of written document showed in the picture.Also, almost all the leaders look confident and doing certain type of pose except Marat.
WHY???: The artist chose to portray them in this way because people would think of them as strong leaders and respect them. Also, the artist did made them confident, serious, and having attitude, doing wonderful showy pose. The pictures are shown in such way to make them more stronger and people would listen and it would lead to success! The artist probably wanted to show the people that 'ohh, look! these are our role-models; we shall be inspired and continue with the war'.
Heroic Figures!!!: Heroic figures are necessary for the revolution because in every war, you atleast need one leader who provides guidance, who also becomes your role-model, who orders you around and has somewhat of a clue on what is going on around and what to do! Heroic figures maintain the things around so they don't go all crazy during the war. Also, they are necessary for people because people need someone to listen to or else no one will ever listen to anyone and that would be just disaster!
