'Landscape with Bridge' is an engaging painting by post-impressionist artist, Henri Julien Félix Rousseau. Rousseau expressed himself in a uniquely primitive or Naïve art style, that provides an appealing simplicity to this charming cityscape. The work is completed using oil paint on canvas. The bridge, central to the artwork, reflects Rousseau's attention to detail and his sensitivity to light and form. Although Rousseau started to paint seriously only later in life, his unique approach to primitive art gives this and his other compositions a timeless and inspiring quality.
