A Centennial of Independence ☳ Rousseau ☵ Canvas
A Centennial of Independence (1892) by Henri Rousseau commemorates the 100th anniversary of the first French Republic formed in 1792. Peasants dance the farandole, a popular southern French dance, around three liberty trees with two female figures representing the First and Third Republics. Rousseau copied the dancers from a magazine illustration, adding waving banners and the liberty poles, and a wagon full of costumed musicians. On the right, the dignified republican leaders represent the solidity of the French Republic.

Stretched canvas prints, also know as wrapped canvas, are created from a giclée print on canvas (instead of paper), and like a traditional painting, the canvas is hand-stretched over a solid wood frame. It can be mounted in a float frame, or displayed on its own. The sides of the canvas are finished in a solid color that complements the artwork, creating a modern reproduction ready to hang on your wall, without a frame.
