According to Wellington, Delacroix's masterpiece of 1830, "Liberty Leading the People", springs directly from Géricault's "The Raft of the Medusa" and Delacroix's own "Massacre at Chios". Wellington wrote that "While Géricault carried his interest in actual detail to the point of searching for more survivors from the wreck as models, Delacroix felt his composition more vividly as a whole, thought of his figures and crowds as types, and dominated them by the symbolic figure of Republican Liberty which is one of his finest plastic inventions."
