Simón Bolívar
One of the world’s most influential figureheads, the Venezuelan military leader Simón Bolívar played an integral part in the country’s revolution against the Spanish Empire. He was actually born into considerable wealth and was sent to Spain to study, and he ended up joining the resistance movement. After the invasion of Spain by France, many called him “El Libertador,” which means The Liberator in English. He actually died in a different kind of battle – with the disease tuberculosis.

What Simón Bolívar Really Looked Like
If you thought that this image was based on a real human being, we would not be that surprised because looks can be deceiving. It took a forensic imagery team a whole year to pore through historical documents, with a little help from the government of Venezuela. After much research, the team was able to create this – a legendary representation of Simón Bolívar. Many might think he is very aesthetically pleasing, which is something you probably would not notice from paintings of him.
