The painting "The Banks of the River Oise" by Henri Rousseau is an oil on canvas created around 1905. Rousseau was known for his fantastic and exotic landscapes , and this painting is no exception.

The picture shows the banks of the river Oise, which is one of the main rivers in the north of France. Rousseau's interpretative imagination is manifested in his unconventional treatment of the landscape. The trees have unusual shapes and colors, which contributes to the overall impression of an unrealized or dreamlike environment.

Rousseau was often inspired by primitive art and created his own unique style with his technique of coloring and creating forms. His unique view of the landscape and his ability to convey the impression of joy and fantasy are evident in the painting "The Banks of the River Oise".

Henri Julien Félix Rousseau (1844 - 1910). French Post-Impressionist painter. He learned painting himself (he developed a specific naive style) and eventually became a brilliant artist whose paintings are firmly embedded in art history. For his profession as a customs officer, he is also called Customs (see his self-portrait known as Customs). He never left France, but became known for his paintings Jungle. Contemporaries often mocked him (they reproached him for his children's paintings). Picasso, who by chance saw one of his paintings and appreciated the quality of his work, prepared a banquet in Rousseau’s honour Dream.
