Myself, Portrait-Landscape ☷ Rousseau ☰ Canvas
Myself, Portrait-Landscape (1890, Moi-même, portrait-paysage) by Henri Rousseau is a self-portrait titled to claim equal status between the typically distinct genres of portraits and landscapes. Rousseau is wearing the insignia of the Ordre des Palmes académiques as a buttonhole pin, which was awarded to a namesake of his but never to him, and holding a palette bearing the names of his two wives "Clémence et Josephine!" He stands as an oversized figure against an urban background featuring the original cast iron Pont du Carrousel bridge and the newly constructed Eiffel Tower. In the sky appears a shadow of a hot air balloon, and a red sun behind a cloud inspired by Jean-Léon Gérôme's 1884 painting Les deux majestés.

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.
