Artists in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries found a way out by personifying a nation. In other words they represented a country as if it were a person. Nations were then portrayed as female figures.The female form that was chosen to personify the nation did not stand for any particular woman in real life; rather it sought to give the abstract idea of the nation a concrete form. That is, the female figure became an allegory of the nation. You will recall that during the French Revolution artists used the female allegory to portray ideas such as Liberty, Justice and the Republic. These ideals were represented through specific objects or symbols. As you would remember, the attributes of Liberty are the red cap, or the broken chain, while Justice is generally a blind folded woman carrying a pair of weighing scale. 4 Answer the following questions a)Define allegory. b) Name the allegories of France and Germany c) What does the following depict on the allegory of Germany i) Crown of oak leaves ii) Breastplate with eagle? 24.
