"Oh Liberty! What Crimes Are Committed in Your Name!" (detail) is a painting by British artist Laslett John Pott from 1874. The piece depicts a poignant scene with a couple in the foreground, the woman appearing distressed as the man supports her. In the background, several figures appear to be in a state of despair or distress. This work is likely a commentary on the social and political upheaval of the time and the potential for misuse of the ideals of liberty. The painting's somber tone and detailed figures contribute to its powerful message.
