Collection particulière, France. Peintre de l"école provençale né auCaire d"un père ingénieur travaillant à la construction du Canal de Suez, Rousseau étudiera dans l"atelier de Jean Léon Gerôme. En 1900, il obtient une bourse d"études qui lui permit de voyager en Europe, mais lui fit surtout découvrir l‘Afrique du Nord. Le Maroc deviendra une terre de prédilection où il effectuera de nombreux séjours. Les paysages marocains, les guerriers à cheval, les fauconniers seront les thèmes favoris de Rousseau, qui le rendront célèbres et sont encore aujourd"hui les plus recherchés. Il traduira par une palette variée et délicate le contraste entre le paysage ocre et rosé, les bruns des chevaux et les vêtements colorés de ses nobles personnages. Henri Rousseau, whose father was an engineer on the Suez Canal was born in Cairo. He is a member of the painters from Provence. He studied in Jean Leon Gerôme"s studio. In 1900, he was awarded a scholarship that allowed him to travel through Europe, and North Africa. He will particularly be seduced by Morocco, and will return to this country many times. Moroccan landscapes, horsemen, and falconers are among his favorite themes, and these paintings famous in his time are still today wanted by many collectors. Rousseau"s palette is bright and vivid, and he is particularly talented when showing the contrast between the dark horses and the colorful clothes of his fierce models.
