A Masterpiece with Extraordinary Historical Context
The story behind this portrait enriches your floor mat with exceptional historical dimensions. Painted in 1778, when Franklin was serving as the American ambassador to France during the critical years of the American Revolution, this work represents the diplomat at the height of his international celebrity. The 72-year-old Franklin had become a sensation in Paris, embodying the democratic ideals and intellectual vigor of the new American republic. Duplessis' portrait, with its dignified simplicity, perfectly captured the image Franklin wished to project—a straightforward man of reason rather than aristocratic pretension, whose authority came from wisdom rather than wealth or title. This painting became the definitive image of Franklin, reproduced countless times and eventually becoming the portrait that appears on the American one-hundred-dollar bill. By bringing this floor mat into your home, you connect with both a pivotal moment in American diplomatic history and the very image that has shaped our collective imagination of this extraordinary founding father.
