Flag Brazil

Flag of Brazil: 3 x 5 Ft, Poly w Gromets.
Brazilian flag historians attribute the original lozenge design, adopted for the Kingdom of Brazil in 1822, to a French painter and designer named Jean-Baptiste Debret, who was active in Brazil between 1816 and 1831. It is thought that the design was inspired by the lozenges on pre-1812 Napoleonic military colours.
The colours green and yellow refer to the Royal Houses of Bragança (Emperor Pedro I) and Habsburg (Empress Leopoldina). The celestial sphere on the republican standard is a portrait of the sky of Rio de Janeiro on the night of 15 November 1889.
