"A Centennial of Independence" (French: "Un centenaire de l'indépendance") is a painting by the French post-impressionist artist Henri Julien Félix Rousseau, commonly known as Henri Rousseau. Created in 1892, this work is one of the many paintings in which Rousseau, a self-taught artist, depicted lush and imaginative landscapes. The painting commemorates the 100th anniversary of the French Republic, which was established in 1792, following the French Revolution.

The painting is characterized by Rousseau's distinctive style, which includes a vivid use of color and a naive form of representation that eschews traditional perspective techniques. "A Centennial of Independence" features a vibrant and dreamlike scene that combines elements of a French cityscape with a fantastical parade. The foreground is dominated by a group of people, possibly representing the citizens of the new republic, who are gathered in a celebratory mood. The background of the painting may include iconic French architecture or symbols of national pride, rendered in Rousseau's flat and stylized manner.

Rousseau, who was also known as Le Douanier (the customs officer), due to his occupation as a toll collector, was largely unappreciated during his lifetime but gained posthumous recognition for his self-taught genius and his influence on the avant-garde movements of the early 20th century. "A Centennial of Independence" is an example of Rousseau's contribution to the modern art movement, showcasing his unique approach to composition and his ability to evoke a sense of wonder and naivety.

The painting is part of Rousseau's broader body of work, which includes other notable pieces such as "The Sleeping Gypsy" and "The Dream." "A Centennial of Independence" is held in high regard for its historical significance and its role in the development of modern art. It is a testament to Rousseau's imaginative power and his enduring legacy as a pioneer of the primitive or naive art movement. The painting can be found in the collection of a major museum or art institution, where it continues to be studied and admired by art enthusiasts and scholars alike.
