"The Representatives of Foreign Powers Coming to Salute the Republic as a Sign of Peace" is a painting by the French Post-Impressionist artist Henri Julien Félix Rousseau, commonly known as Henri Rousseau. Created in 1907, this work exemplifies Rousseau's self-taught, naïve style, characterized by its dreamlike atmosphere and vivid, imaginative quality.

The painting depicts a fantastical scene in which various dignitaries and exotic figures approach a representation of the French Republic to pay their respects. The central figure of the Republic, personified as a woman, is seated and surrounded by a diverse assembly of characters, each representing different foreign powers. The composition is marked by Rousseau's distinctive use of bold colors, flat planes, and meticulous detail, which contribute to the work's surreal and otherworldly ambiance.

Rousseau, often referred to as Le Douanier (the customs officer), due to his occupation as a toll collector, was largely self-taught and did not begin painting seriously until his late forties. Despite his lack of formal training, Rousseau's unique artistic vision garnered the admiration of many avant-garde artists of the time, including Pablo Picasso and Wassily Kandinsky.

"The Representatives of Foreign Powers Coming to Salute the Republic as a Sign of Peace" is considered an important work within Rousseau's oeuvre, reflecting both his idiosyncratic approach to painting and his political optimism regarding international relations and peace. The painting is housed in the Musée de l'Orangerie, Paris, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its distinctive contribution to early 20th-century art.
