War (La Guerre) (1894) by Henri Rousseau - Post-Impressionist Art Print (Unframed) (5"x7")

Confront the chaos of conflict with Henri Rousseau's harrowing masterpiece, "War (La Guerre)." Painted in 1894, this is not a depiction of a specific battle, but a powerful and terrifying allegory for the universal horror of war itself. Rousseau's signature "naïve" style, with its flat colors and disregard for academic rules, makes this vision of destruction all the more unsettling and unforgettable.

A Frightening Allegory: The central figure, a wild-eyed goddess of war, rides a monstrous horse over a landscape of dismembered bodies, symbolizing the indiscriminate and chaotic nature of conflict.

Unique "Naïve" Style: Henri Rousseau, a self-taught genius, used a child-like, dreamlike style to create a scene of pure nightmare, making the horror feel both surreal and deeply profound.

Symbolic & Powerful: From the sword and torch of the rider to the black crows feasting on the dead, every element in this painting is a potent symbol of war's devastating consequences.

A Post-Impressionist Landmark: While initially misunderstood, this painting was championed by the avant-garde and is now considered a landmark work of anti-war art and a masterpiece of the Post-Impressionist era.

Perfect For: A study, library, or gallery wall for those who appreciate profound, challenging art with deep historical and symbolic meaning. A must-have for admirers of Rousseau, Symbolism, and powerful anti-war statements.
