Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
In the nineteenth century, artists created female allegories to represent the country. The French nation was represented by Marianne, a popular Christian name in France. It emphasised the idea of a nation of the people. She was easily recognised by her red cap, tricolour, and cockade. In order to remind people of belongingness to the nation and to urge them to identify with it, Marianne sculptures were erected in public spaces. Marianne represented the French people as a woman. She was a living example of "Republic" and "Liberty." She was portrayed in a way that gave a nation's abstract idea a concrete shape.
The correct statement would be that Marianne was a female allegory in France to represent the nation.
