Description
Marianne is usually depicted as a beautiful young maiden and often leans on a fasces (a symbol of authority). She traditionally wears a red Phrygian cap (also named Liberty cap) ornate with a tricolour cockade (symbol of Freedom). The Phrygian cap refers to the pileus, the cap worn by emancipated slaves of Ancient Rome. In the 19th century the Phrygian cap was thought to be too revolutionary and Marianne was sometimes crowned with a laurel wreath. However on a few occasions Marianne has been represented as an angry warrior like in François Rude’s sculptural group at Paris’ Arc de Triomphe
