I've noticed
That all these people look very stern, none of them are smiling. This is so because they have to look serious so that people have faith that they can lead the people. I also noticed that in three out of the four paintings, the leaders are standing in a stiff position, holding a weapon. This is intended to make them look scary and overpowering, to get the message across that they should not be messed with. The artists probably drew each of the leaders this way to make them seem big and important. They all seem like they know what they're doing and they look experienced just by the way they are standing. When future generations look at these men, they probably look silly, but mostly they look dignified and experienced. Revolutions need heroic figures to keep order. Those people are already in the
Minority, so they need a strong individual that can help them overcome their adversaries. Each of these people are heroic in what they did for their own people and country. George Washington helped America gain independence form britain, Toussaint helped the Haitian slaves create a revolt and so on. They were each strong individuals that benefitted their countries.
