Dates may be represented as a range that spans decades, centuries, dynasties, or periods and may include qualifiers such as c. Status On View, Gallery 391 Department Modern Art Artist Henri Rousseau Title The Waterfall Place France (Artist's nationality) Dateĭates are not always precisely known, but the Art Institute strives to present this information as consistently and legibly as possible. As we look upon them, seemingly undetected or just noticed by the deer, we encounter a fictional scene that reflects 20th-century European ideas about escaping modernity and returning to more peaceful origins. Here, he created a secluded vignette of two dark-skinned figures and a pair of deer at a stream surrounded by dense foliage.
As a result, his landscapes often reflect how Parisians at the time imagined France’s colonial empires in Africa and the Americas. Instead, he learned about the flora and fauna of far-away places through visits to Paris botanical gardens and zoos as well as in popular books. A self-taught artist who worked by day as a customs agent until the age of 49, Rousseau never set foot outside of France. Among the very last compositions Henri Rousseau painted, The Waterfall is typical of the large-scale jungle scenes for which he gained renown in the 20th century.
