Commentary
C'est Marie Joseph, marquis de La Fayette (1757-1834) qui fut choisi pour symboliser l'Égalité. Après avoir été l'un des héros de la Guerre d'Indépendance des États-Unis (1777-1783). Il fut le très populaire commandant de la Garde Nationale avant de faire tirer sur le peuple en 1791 au Champ de Mars. Pressentant un destin funeste, il quitta la France en 1792 et fut interné par les Autrichiens pendant cinq ans. Rentré en France après le coup d'état du 18 brumaire, il n'eut aucun rôle sous l'Empire mais fut le chef de file de l'opposition libérale sous la Restauration. Héros de la Révolution de 1830, il soutint Louis-Philippe d'Orléans, mais finit sa vie dans l'opposition. Au regard de ce parcours, on s'interroge sur l'opportunité du choix de La Fayette pour figurer l'Égalité dans le cadre de la commémoration du bicentenaire de la Révolution... .
