The Banks of the Bievre near Bicetre, c. 1908a'09
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Henri J. F. Rousseau, also known as Le Douanier Rousseau. This enchanting artwork, measuring 54.6x45.7 cm, can be found in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The scene depicted in this post-impressionist masterpiece transports viewers to the tranquil banks of the Bievre River near Bicetre, France. The artist's signature primitivism style shines through as he portrays a serene landscape filled with lush vegetation and towering trees that seem to dance along the river's edge. Rousseau's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of figures scattered throughout the composition – humble peasants going about their daily lives against this idyllic backdrop. Their presence adds a touch of humanity and authenticity to an otherwise untouched natural setting. One cannot help but marvel at the primitive aqueduct that spans across part of the river, serving as both a functional structure and an artistic element within this botanical paradise. As we gaze upon "The Banks of the Bievre near Bicetre" we are transported back in time to early 20th-century France, where nature reigns supreme and simplicity prevails over modernity. Rousseau's unique blend of naivety and post-impressionism creates a harmonious balance between reality and imagination. This remarkable painting serves as a testament to Rousseau's talent as well
