More about this artwork

In the painting, a man stands prominently in the foreground on a bridge over a river. He is dressed in a formal black suit and a beret, holding a palette in his hand, which indicates he is an artist. His stern face sports a full beard. Behind him, the landscape transitions dramatically between urban and surreal maritime elements. On one side, there's an industrial cityscape with buildings and smoking chimneys lining the riverbank. On the opposite side, there is a large ship adorned with colorful flags and ensigns cluttered in an array of designs, directly juxtaposed against the calm city scene. The sky above stretches out in a vast expanse filled with soft, pastel-hued clouds and a small hot air balloon drifting leisurely.

Despite never attending a formal art school, Henri Rousseau (1844–1910) 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.
