About the Item

Henri Émilien Rousseau French 1875 – 1933 Portrait of the Arabian Horse Moscow Oil on board, signed lower left Image size: 15 x 18 inches This splendid rendition of the horse by Rousseau captures the beauty of the animal, its muscles and pose. Henri Emilien Rousseau was born in Cairo in 1875. Among the French Orientalists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Henri Emilien Rousseau occupies a prominent place, thanks in particular to his remarkable representations of Arabian horses. He was a pupil of Jean-Léon Gérôme, the most famous French Orientalist after Delacroix. Henri was awarded the second Grand Prix de Rome in 1900. Thanks to a travel grant, he first visited to Belgium, the Netherlands, North Africa, Spain and Italy where he admired the great masters. He returned to North Africa several times before the First World War. From 1920 to 1932, he worked in Morocco. Henri Emilien Rousseau exhibited in Paris, at the Salon des Artistes Français, and participated in numerous international exhibitions in Belgium, Holland, England, Sweden, Brazil, Argentina, and Japan. His favourite subjects are scenes of nomadic life, movements of horsemen, vast landscapes, inspired by North Africa or the Camargue. Today, horse subjects are the most sought after by the artist. Museums : Louvre Museum, Musée des Beaux-Arts d'Amiens, Nantes, Mulhouse, Chambery, Château de Versailles.
