About the piece

Painted in 1892, Henri Rousseau’s 'A Centennial of Independence' commemorates the hundredth anniversary of the French Republic. The work features a joyful farandole dance around a Liberty Tree, rendered with the artist's signature flat perspective and lush, imaginative detail that defines the Post-Impressionist Naïve movement.
