Classic | Rousseau | Flowers | Free Artwork | Digital Original Still Life
Great wall art can be a print of a favourite painting, or a print from an artist whose work you enjoy. In the case of classic artworks, I came across a fantastic source of original art, digitally enhanced by rawpixel from a public domain* collection.
Bouquet of Flowers with China Asters and Tokyos (Bouquet de fleurs aux reines-marguerites et aux tokyos) (1910) by Henri Rousseau is such an example, and another classic art favourite of mine. For this piece of wall art, before you download and save, please note that I have further enhanced the image and layered slightly, and be aware that some slight resizing and cropping may have occurred (and that you may need to adjust to fit your print medium).

Henri Rousseau
This public domain art, Bouquet of Flowers with China Asters and Tokyos (Bouquet de fleurs aux reines-marguerites et aux tokyos) (1910), is a high resolution digitally enhanced copy of an original painting from Henri Rousseau (1844–1910). Despite never attending a formal art school, Rousseau is wildly recognized as a self-taught genius, who left a lasting legacy to the avant-garde movement.
Rousseau practiced painting and drawing by copying artworks in the art museums of Paris in his spare time. Since he never studied anatomy and perspective at an art school, he developed a unique artistic style known as 'Naive' or 'Primitive'. His paintings are often depicted in a childish or dreamlike manner with their vivid colors, ambiguous spaces, and non-realistic scale.
Most of his signature paintings portray wild animals or human figures in the jungle. His artwork was not accepted by the conservative critics so he became a member of the Parisian artistic and literary avant-garde movement where his works extensively influenced several generations of avant-garde artists and surrealists.
Image Resolution
The image resolution is normally stated in pixels. However, what defines the physical size of any image you have as a download is in which format you would like to reproduce the image and therefore the dpi (dots per inch) required.
For example, to use an image on a website, 72dpi is optimal. However, to print in medium quality, 150dpi (minimum) is required. That said, for the best print quality, and that used by most commercial printers, then 300dpi is needed.
To put this in some perspective, an image of 2000x2000 pixels would give the following sizes.....
At 72dpi this would be 27.7 x 27.7 inches (705 x 705 mm)
At 150dpi this would be 13.3 x 13.3 inches (338 x 338 mm)
At 300dpi this would be 6.7 x 6.7 inches (169 x 169 mm)
Therefore, as a general rule (in dimensional terms), and a quick reference guide, each 1000 pixels is equal to
13.8 inches (352.7 mm) at 72dpi
or
6.66 inches (169.3 mm) at 150dpi
or
3.33 inches (84.6 mm) at 300dpi.
