Marianne and Germania were the feminine allegories of France and Germany, respectively. Their significance as female allegories was that they represented the "Republic" and "Liberty." They were depicted as symbols of nationalism because they concretized the abstract concept of a country. They also symbolized the reconciliation between France and Germany after they had gone through the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars. Marianne was created by Jean-Antoine Watteau in 1717. She first appeared in a painting called "Divertissement (A Pastoral Play)" which was originally part of a larger work called "The Country Parson". The painting is now in the collection of the Louvre in Paris. Germania was created by Johann Joachim Kändler in 1772. She first appeared in a painting called "Deutschland und die Deutschen" (Germany and the Germans) by Franz Ludwig von Schönborn. The painting is now in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich. Germania also appears in a famous sculpture by Friedrich Giesler called "The Dying Germanicus" which is located in Rome's Capitoline Museums. Marianne and Germania became symbols of France and Germany after they signed the Peace of Amiens in 1802.
