德拉克罗瓦（Delacroix 1798—1863）1798年出生于一个外交官家庭。

　　17岁时，进入画家格朗的画室学习，后来进入美术学院。1822年，受到籍利柯《美杜萨之筏》的影响，画了著名的《但丁之舟》，描绘但丁与维吉尔乘小舟游地狱，受到罪恶之河中种种幽魂的困扰，其凄厉与阴森之情令人惨不忍睹。1824年，又以巨作《希阿岛的屠杀》令人瞩目。从而成为浪漫主义绘画运动的主将，与以安格尔为首的古典主义相抗衡。此后陆续推出《萨尔纳塔帕尔之死》、《十字军进入耶路撒冷》、《马利诺·法利罗的死刑》等令人惊心动魄的浪漫主义巨作，把19世纪上半叶法国绘画的光荣推到了顶点。

　　在法国大革命的多次反复中德拉克罗瓦坚定地站在共和主义一边。他用绘画做武器，为实现共和、争取民主和自由而战斗。《自由领导人民前进》，便是他这种理想的体现。在着手画这幅面的时候，他在给哥哥的一封信中谈到了自己的创作动机： “我正着手画一幅现代题材的作品——《街垒战》(即《自由领导人民前进》)。我虽然未能为祖国的自由而作战，但我至少要用绘画来为祖国争光!”
