"The Rower" is a painting by Belgian artist James Ensor, created in 1883. This work is an example of Ensor's early exploration into the world of realism, a style that he would later abandon in favor of a more expressionistic approach that included elements of satire, allegory, and the grotesque. The painting depicts a solitary figure rowing a boat, a subject that is relatively straightforward and devoid of the complex symbolism that would characterize Ensor's later works.

Measuring 117.5 by 90 cm, "The Rower" is executed in oil on canvas. The composition focuses on the physical exertion and concentration of the rower, with the artist's use of light and shadow playing a significant role in conveying the mood and atmosphere of the scene. Ensor's brushwork in this piece is meticulous, capturing the texture of the water and the movement of the rower with a sense of immediacy and realism.

James Ensor (1860–1949) is considered one of the most important figures in modern art, with his work being pivotal in the transition from the 19th to the 20th century. Although "The Rower" is less representative of his avant-garde contributions, it offers insight into his artistic development and the early influences that shaped his unique style. The painting is part of a private collection and has been exhibited in various art galleries and museums, contributing to the understanding of Ensor's oeuvre and the evolution of his artistic vision.

As an artist, Ensor is known for his innovative use of color and light, as well as his fascination with the macabre and the carnival, which would become more pronounced in his mature work. "The Rower" provides a contrast to these themes, allowing viewers to appreciate the breadth of Ensor's talent and the diversity of his artistic pursuits. The painting is also a testament to the artist's technical skill and his ability to capture a moment in time with both clarity and emotional depth.
