Henri Julien Rousseau, often referred to as "Le Douanier" Rousseau, was a self-taught French post-impressionist painter known for his vivid and imaginative works. One of his notable paintings, "La Guerre. - Les Horreurs De La Guerre" (War. - The Horrors of War), stands as a powerful testament to his unique artistic vision and his ability to convey profound themes through his distinctive style.

Created in 1894, "La Guerre" is a striking and evocative portrayal of the devastation and chaos wrought by war. The painting is characterized by its dramatic composition and intense emotional impact. Rousseau employs a rich, dark palette to depict a desolate landscape littered with the remnants of battle. The central figure, an allegorical representation of War, is depicted as a fierce and menacing female warrior, wielding a sword and riding a black horse. Her presence dominates the scene, symbolizing the destructive force of conflict.

Surrounding the central figure are numerous fallen soldiers and civilians, their bodies strewn across the battlefield. The twisted and contorted forms of the dead and dying emphasize the brutality and senselessness of war. Rousseau's attention to detail and his ability to convey the anguish and suffering of his subjects are evident in the haunting expressions and postures of the figures.

"La Guerre" is notable not only for its thematic content but also for its stylistic elements. Rousseau's use of bold outlines, simplified forms, and a lack of traditional perspective creates a sense of immediacy and raw emotion. This approach, often associated with his "naïve" or "primitive" style, allows the viewer to engage directly with the painting's powerful message.

The painting reflects Rousseau's deep concern with social and political issues, a theme that recurs in several of his works. "La Guerre" serves as a poignant reminder of the horrors of war and the enduring impact of violence on humanity. Through this work, Rousseau invites viewers to contemplate the consequences of conflict and the importance of striving for peace.
