More about this artwork

"Meadowland (The Pasture)" is a serene landscape composition by Henri Rousseau, painted in 1910. Capturing the tranquility of a rural scene, this painting beautifully portrays a pastoral setting evoking a sense of peaceful coexistence between nature and human endeavors.At the center of the painting, three cows lazily graze in a lush green meadow. These cows, portrayed with Rousseau's characteristic attention to detail and textured brushwork, emote a sense of calmness that dominates the scene. Beside them, a figure in a red cap appears dwarfed by the expansive pasture, emphasizing humanity's small scale in the vastness of nature.The painting's backdrop features tall, narrow trees and a large, dense tree with a multitude of leaves, depicted using meticulous and almost pointillist strokes. These flora frame the scene, forming a natural wall that separates the celestial blue sky from the verdant earth.The tranquil composition and dreamlike quality of "Meadowland (The Pasture)" exemplify Rousseau's unique approach to realism infused with a touch of naivety.

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.
