The Mona Lisa, of course, was completed in France. In terms of French art, the hall of 19th century French paintings is impressive, and interesting as you can clearly see which paintings are in the guidebook as "must see"- there is usually a huge crowd around Liberty Leading the People (the painting you mention), a somewhat smaller one around The Raft of the Medusa, and paintings like the huge and spectacular Coronation of Napoleon on the opposite wall or the powerful The Lictors Bring Brutus the Bodies of his Sons further along are essentially ignored. |
