About the Artwork

"The Banks of the Bi-vre near Bic-tre" is an oil-on-canvas painting executed in 1908-1909 by French artist Henri Rousseau. It was a painting of a scene around Bicetre. This working-class community lived on the southern edge of the Paris city around the Bievre River.  The river is now buried underground as it crosses through a section of the city. However, it was a waterway during those days, heavily polluted but still offered picturesque views in the areas around it. In the painting, Henri shows long, deciduous trees in the foreground and a pathway that crisscrosses the trees. On the right is a wooden fence that crosses the river, sealing off a piece of land that is heavily forested with all-weather trees. In the background are buildings, partly obscured by trees such that only the rooftops and windows are seen. Viewers can see more people walking among trees on the left of the image. Henri shows an aqua blue sky with trees swaying to the cool breeze. This setting gives the impression that the painting was done during the day. The style of this painting is post-impressionism. The style is marked by vivid colors, with an inclination to painting items, as they look in general real life.
