Fun fact: Delacroix's "Liberty Guiding The People" comes from the 1830 revolution not the 1789 Revolution.Rabid wrote: Yes, Marianne is still very present in the French Republic iconography. But it used to symbolize the Republic and the ideals of the 1789's Revolution, not as symbol the French Nation.
First, from where it comes (as far as I know) : link
You then have the logo of the Republic, which is present on pretty much every paper that is official : link
And, traditionally, in every Town Hall, and sometimes in schools you'll find a Marianne Bust : general google link - current model
