In 2013, this painting was being exhibited in Lens when a 9/11 truther scrawled "AE911" on it with a black marker. Vermeer popularizer Théophile Thoré praised this painting for inventing a "new allegorical language". The model of Hector being dragged behind a chariot inspired the pose of a man in the foreground of this painting who lies on his back with his nightshirt pushed up around his waist. The artist's signature is visible on a pair of broken beams, behind which one can see a tiny flag flying from Notre Dame. A top hat-wearing bourgeois young man stands to the left of this painting's central figure, who is flanked on the right by a boy waving two pistols. For 10 points, name this painting whose title character climbs a broken barricade while waving the tricoleur, a work of Eugene Delacroix.
