Henri Julien Félix (1844-1910) was a versatile and talented artist, known for his diverse range of works. From capturing the intensity and camaraderie of football players in "The Football Players, 1908" to depicting the enigmatic beauty of Madame M in "Portrait of Madame M, 1895-1897, " Rousseau's art is both captivating and thought-provoking. In his still life paintings like "Still Life, 1910, " he masterfully brings ordinary objects to life with vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail. His landscapes such as "La Promenade dans la foret (The walk in the forest), c. 1886" transport viewers into serene natural settings, while pieces like "The War (La guerre), 1894" explore the darker side of human existence. Rousseau also delved into political themes with works like "Representatives of Foreign Powers coming to Salute the Republic as a Sign of Peace, 1907, " highlighting his commitment to social commentary through art. He captured moments of innocence and childhood wonder in paintings such as "Child With A Doll, ca 1904, " while simultaneously exploring more tumultuous emotions in pieces like "The Cliff, c. 1895. " His seascapes like "The Ship in the Tempest, ca 1899" evoke a sense of adventure and danger amidst turbulent waters. In contrast, his depiction of everyday life can be seen in works such as "Fishermen, 1908-1909" or even mundane scenes from rural areas depicted in"The Poultry Yard, 1896-1898. " Rousseau's ability to capture various subjects with equal skill is evident throughout his body of work - whether it be industrial scenes like"The Chair Factory at Alfortville", intimate portraits or dynamic landscapes; each piece showcases his unique artistic vision that continues to inspire and captivate audiences to this day.
