Herc Rousseau Self Portrait Sketch

As mentioned before, Henri Rousseau painted many jungle themed pieces. Rousseau worked to portray contemporaries between the home life and wildlife. Although Henri never travelled outside of France, the jungle theme expressed in his paintings came from experience through common visits to the city’s natural history museums and Paris zoos (Henri Rousseau Paintings). Henri Rousseau painted with such detail, symbolism, and colors, as well as making an everlasting impression on the post-impressionist movement, modern art, and artists of that period.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a Swiss-born French Enlightenment thinker most famous for the 1762, “The Social Contract.” “The Social Contract” is Rousseau’s most valued work due to its ties within the French Revolution.

The next piece is that of artist Henri Rousseau, born on May 21, 1844, in Laval, France. Rousseau’s painting “Suburban Scene” is termed a landscape painting. This painting was chosen particularly because the subject of a housing community and the artwork represents our world of real estate. The painting depicts a peaceful neighborhood, showing a lake and people fishing, as a real estate company we are matching individuals to communities as portrayed in the portrait.

The Harbor of La Rochelle is a 50.5 x 71.8 cm oil on canvas painted by Jean Baptiste Camille Corot in 1851. In this painting, the artist depicted a picturesque scene of the everyday life in a placid harbor city in a sunny warm day. Corot was the leading painter of the Barbizon school of France in the mid-nineteenth century. He is a pivotal figure in landscape painting. His work simultaneously references the Neo-Classical tradition and anticipates the plein-air innovations of Impressionism.

In the early nineteenth century landscape artists painted scenes of America’s east side near the Hudson River, but by the mid-nineteenth century Landscape artists tended to paint portraits of the newly explored western territory and the South American tropics to show a more extravagant side of the United States.

Rousseau himself, although talented, never formally learned how to paint, he taught himself from a young age, learning through observation, closely studying painters such as Delacroix. Woman Walking in an Exotic Forest depicts a woman dressed in the clothes of the time, although seemingly not native to the jungle that she is surrounded by. The perspective in which the scene is painted is from directly in front, as if the viewer is standing on the ground staring straight at the woman. The greenery which is present all around make up a sort of stage made up of large flowers standing over the woman, and giant fruit hanging from trees above her as well as various other green plants throughout. Rousseau uses a bright colour scheme which projects the liveliness of nature, far from the past dead looking subjects of former art movements, where emphasis was put on a technical execution of recreating a subject, Rousseau I believe sought to recreate a

In this paper, I will argue that Mill’s notion of colonial exploitation vastly expands Rousseau’s ideology of the perpetuation of social and political inequality through the development of private property. Rousseau discusses how property leads to inequality, which implemented the social contract. Mills expands Rousseau's ideology by discussing how race influences the social contract, directly correlating the racial contract to colonial exploitation. This allows Mills to accentuate the fundamental mechanisms in which the racial contract influences the social contract.

In 1898 Henri Rousseau painted The Eiffel Tower, and during this time the Eiffel Tower had been opened for just about about ten years so it was still fairly new. The painting features the Seine River and the Eiffel tower perfectly aligned to create a beautiful scenery. In this particular painting he was inspired by both the Eiffel Tower and the Seine River, but in reality, these two attractions never align how Rousseau portrays them. This shows how, like in many of his paintings, Rousseau toyed with the

In the year of 1840 little did France, let alone the world, know that it was a year to be put in the history books. On this beautiful year a man of great recognition in the art world was born. The founding father of Impressionism, Claude Monet. He had been a painter of a new style. One of his paintings titled “Across the Meadow” was simply one of the art pieces among a multitude of other phenomenal impressionist works he had completed.

St. Louis, Missouri is famous for the Gateway Arch and the Zoo; however, the Saint Louis Art Museum (SLAM) is something that can't be overlooked. At a recent trip, I found a landscape painting that shows the true meaning of human interaction. This panting is called Extensive Landscape With Travellers on a Country Road and was painted by Jan Brueghel the Elder around 1608 to 1610.

It is the first modern landscape in Western art. Though the humans seem to be the main focus, the landscape is just as important.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau – your philosophy states that “the social order is a sacred right which serves as a foundation for all others”, but “it does not come from nature”. But humans have a natural foundation of understanding that some of us are more intelligent and useful than others might be, and that dictates us to classing of who can do what and why they are more important than others in a way that is not vain instead it’s just blatant honesty in the fact that not all are created or built equally. So how do you base a philosophy on the thought that all people are made equal when not everyone is equally created?

The first painting, “Under the Birches, Evening”, is done by Pierre Etienne Theodore Rousseau. He

Many artists self-portraits are either neutral or positive—displaying the artist as they see themselves,in both paintings and photographs. In this self portrait, however, the artist appears in a crazed-like state and feverish, deviating from the norm. So the aptly named “The Desperate Man” painted by Gustave Courbet, is a very distinctive portrait, as the artist demonstrates a very specific emotion through values,expression,and

Claude Lorrain was able to portray the world around him in a unique way and for him “This landscape was the constant inspiration of his art, and he revealed the beauty and grandeur of its changing light, its glittering seas, its distant plains and majestic trees as through seen for the first time.” , giving the viewer the opportunity to look at the world around them in a new and exciting way. Proust’s belief that art is powerful because it gives one the opportunity to regain their appreciation for life is depicted by Lorrain in his Pastoral Landscape with the Ponte-Molle (Figure A). This landscape is based off of the Timber Valley, with the Ponte Molle accurately pictured in the background, even though it is not a topographically accurate work because Lorrain’s top priority was to capture the natural beauty of the scenery. The sun is shown low on the horizon to emphasize the soft lighting, accentuating the ambience of the tranquil setting. Lorrain’s placement of the sun allows for a soft light to illuminate the entire piece and the overlapping of colours in the skyline creates a sfumato effect that adds to mystical feel of the overall
