The Dream by Rousseau Art Print
The Dream, completed in 1910 and Rousseau's last major canvas, places a reclining nude on a red velvet sofa deep inside an impossible jungle. Giant lilies, exotic birds, a lurking lion, and a dark snake charmer emerge from the dense foliage in a scene that defies any rational geography. Rousseau's characteristic flatness — leaves painted one by one, forms outlined with child-like directness — gives the composition an otherworldly stillness, as if the jungle has paused to look back. The palette is saturated and unmodulated: forty shades of green, hot pink, burning orange, and midnight sky. It is naive painting at its most deliberately, magnificently strange.
This archival fine art print renders Rousseau's saturated jungle palette and flat, layered forms with rich colour depth and the sharp edge definition his precise botanical detail demands.
