Possibly viewer responses to looking Liberty Leading the People could be very inspiring or angering. If a French revolutionist looked at this painting they would be inspired to pick up their guns and follow liberty to change their nation. On the other hand it might cause some people to fill as if they had lost as the painting gives of a starting couragement to keep going forward towards fighting in the Revolution of 1830, and some people would have preferred the monarchy that had been restored. So for this it really depends upon the viewer. Another thing would be lady liberty striding forward very powerful. This painting would be a big discourage for these that were apart of the king's forces. Also this painting gives off the powerful notion of unity because there are men from different eco-social levels of society fighting with each other in the revolution.
Possible viewer responses to the Ludovisi Battle Sarcophagus can also vary. First of just seeing this art work would make someone stand back in awe at the absolute amazing that is going on. The detail and all that is going is so cool. It is so dense with activity that it is hard to follow. There is about a couple of layers in one area so there is so much to look at. What we see here is that it is a roman bias as they are the ones winning and killing off the Goths. The Goths have a barbaric look to them while the Romans are mean fighting machines that are coming in and taking care of business. There are two sides to the reactions. The first would be that someone would have a sense of pride for their country in winning or they could be devastated that their country or people are losing the battle.
