"La Guerre, ou: Les Horreurs de la Guerre" is a notable painting by the French Post-Impressionist artist Henri Julien Félix Rousseau, commonly known as Henri Rousseau. Created in 1894, this work is one of the few pieces by Rousseau that delves into the theme of war, diverging from his more frequent depictions of jungle scenes and dreamlike landscapes. The painting stands as a powerful statement against the brutality and destruction of war, reflecting the artist's personal views and the broader pacifist sentiments of the time.

Rousseau, often referred to as Le Douanier (the customs officer), due to his occupation as a toll collector, was a self-taught artist who gained recognition for his naive and primitive style, which was characterized by bold colors, a lack of conventional perspective, and imaginative compositions. "La Guerre" exemplifies Rousseau's unique approach to art, showcasing a dramatic and allegorical scene that is both haunting and evocative.

The painting depicts a desolate landscape ravaged by conflict, with a personification of war in the form of a fierce female warrior riding a horse and brandishing a sword. The background is filled with fiery skies and the chaotic turmoil of battle, conveying a sense of apocalyptic destruction. Rousseau's use of stark imagery and symbolic elements in "La Guerre" serves to convey a poignant message about the futility and horror of war, making it a significant work within his oeuvre and within the broader context of anti-war art.

"La Guerre, ou: Les Horreurs de la Guerre" is held in high regard for its historical and artistic value, and it remains an important piece for study within the canon of Rousseau's work and the development of modern art. The painting is also a testament to Rousseau's ability to address serious and complex themes through his distinctive artistic lens, contributing to his posthumous reputation as an influential figure in the avant-garde movement.
