Henri Rousseau | Carnival Evening (1886)
About the Artwork
This serene painting depicts two carnival figures, a Pierrot and a Columbine, standing in a barren, wintry landscape under a full moon. With leafless trees and a small, shadowy house, the mood is melancholic and mysterious. Rousseau contrasts the brightly dressed characters with the dark, moonlit sky, creating an evocative sense of quiet drama.
About the Artist
Henri Rousseau (1844–1910) was a French post-impressionist painter known for his vivid, imaginative jungle scenes, despite never having traveled to tropical regions. A self-taught artist, he worked as a customs officer before dedicating himself to painting later in life. His naïve, primitive style was initially dismissed but later gained recognition for its bold colours, dreamlike qualities, and intricate compositions. Rousseau influenced many avant-garde artists, including Picasso and the Surrealists.
