Style

Henri Rousseau's art resonated with Post-Impressionism—an art movement that emerged as a reaction against Impressionists’ focus on naturalistic depictions of light and color. Instead, artists like Rousseau concentrated more on symbolic elements along with emotive content while still valuing impressionist tenet: accurate depiction of light in their composition—notions clearly observable in works like "L'ile De La Cite". His style distinctly leaned towards primitivism for its bold and colorful depiction of subjects set in dream-like landscapes, where reality is not a defined boundary but more of an inspirational source.
