Two years before France's official National Day was declared in 1880, the country celebrated its recovery from the defeat of 1870 with a patriotic day of "peace and work." Monet obliged with a vibrantly hued masterwork alive with small strokes of colour that suggest the animation of the crowd and the waving of flags. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of colour, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand. The replica 4.375" wide, European style, bright gold-toned, ribbed frame is cast in quality designer resin with an acanthus leaf and floret border that draws the eye toward the beautiful image. Proudly printed and framed in the USA using imported moulding.
