The story behind the motif
Canvas with the painting The Rue Mosnier with Flags created in 1878 by the French artist Édouard Manet.
To commemorate the Exposition Universelle (Paris World's Fair), the French government declared June 30, 1878 a national holiday. The holiday, called the Fête de la Paix (Peace Celebration), also marked France's recovery from the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871) and the bloody, divisive Paris Commune that followed.
From his second-floor window, Édouard Manet captured the festive afternoon on the Rue Mosnier . There we see the red, white and blue colors of the French flag waving from the windows of the new buildings.
Artist: Édouard Manet | Created: 1878
