The Art of the Game by Manchester-based artist Michael J. Browne, was inspired by Cantona's return from that ban and his reintroduction into the United team. It is based on two paintings from the late fifteenth century: Resurrection, by Piero della Francesca, and The Triumphs of Caesar, IX by Andrea Mantegna. Browne is a United fan, and when he spotted Cantona in a bar in the centre of Manchester during his ban he asked him to pose for the painting. The player enthusiastically agreed, using a broom as a stand-in for a flag, and agreeing to purchase the finished piece on the spot. Browne completed the painting using photographs of the other players, and it is now on display at the National Football Museum in Manchester, on loan from Cantona.
