"War" (also known as "La Guerre") is a significant painting by the French post-impressionist artist Henri Julien Rousseau, commonly known as Henri Rousseau. Created in 1894, this oil on canvas measures 114 cm × 195 cm (45 in × 77 in) and is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. The painting is one of the most emblematic works of Rousseau's career and serves as a stark departure from the lush, exotic jungle scenes for which he is best known.

Rousseau's "War" is a powerful allegory that depicts the horrors of conflict. The scene is dominated by a personification of war, a fierce, female figure riding a horse, trampling over the bodies of the fallen. The figure, often interpreted as an allegory of death or destruction, is shrouded in a blood-red cloak, with wild hair and a menacing expression, encapsulating the chaos and brutality of war. The desolate landscape, stripped of vegetation and life, reinforces the painting's grim message.

This work is particularly noteworthy as it reflects Rousseau's unique self-taught style, characterized by its dreamlike atmosphere and bold, flat colors. Despite having no formal artistic training, Rousseau's work was eventually recognized for its raw and emotive power, which "War" exemplifies. The painting is a somber meditation on the senselessness of war, and it stands as a testament to Rousseau's ability to convey complex, universal themes through his art.

"War" is often discussed in the context of Rousseau's broader oeuvre as an example of his engagement with social and political themes, despite his primary reputation as a painter of exotic and fantastical landscapes. The painting's stark imagery and evocative symbolism have continued to resonate with audiences, making it an important work in the study of Rousseau's artistic legacy and the broader canon of post-impressionist art.
