Description

Step into the dreamlike world of Carnival Evening, painted in 1886 by the self-taught French master Henri Rousseau. This hauntingly beautiful oil on canvas transports viewers to a mysterious forest bathed in twilight, where masked figures and shadowy trees evoke both celebration and unease. Known for his naive, almost surreal style, Rousseau weaves childlike simplicity with quiet enigma, leaving us to wonder: is this a festive gathering or the prelude to something unknown? Created long before surrealism took root, this piece whispers the magic of the subconscious decades ahead of its time.
