"Le centenaire de l'indépendance" (The Centenary of Independence) 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 Rousseau's many canvases that reflect his unique style, characterized by its naive and primitive aesthetic, which earned him the nickname "Le Douanier" (The Customs Officer), a nod to his occupation as a toll collector.

The painting commemorates the 100th anniversary of the French Republic, which was established in 1792, a year marked by significant events during the French Revolution, including the abolition of the monarchy and the establishment of the First French Republic. Rousseau's depiction is not a literal representation of historical events but rather an allegorical and imaginative interpretation that aligns with his self-taught approach to art.

In "Le centenaire de l'indépendance," Rousseau employs vibrant colors and a dreamlike quality that is typical of his work. The composition often features a juxtaposition of figures and elements that may not be proportionally accurate or realistic but convey a sense of celebration and national pride. Rousseau's work is celebrated for its pioneering role in the avant-garde movements of the early 20th century, influencing artists such as Pablo Picasso, Wassily Kandinsky, and several others associated with Surrealism and Primitivism.

As an important piece in Rousseau's oeuvre, "Le centenaire de l'indépendance" is recognized for its originality and the way it exemplifies the artist's self-taught mastery of form and color, which challenged the traditional art norms of his time. The painting is part of Rousseau's broader impact on modern art, demonstrating his ability to capture the imagination with his distinctive and unorthodox artistic vision.
