Henri Rousseau painted a painting called "The Bridge at Sevres" around 1908. Rousseau was known for his fantastical and naive landscapes that combined elements of the real world with his own imagination.

In the painting "Bridge at Sevres" we can see a bridge that crosses the river and figures of people walking or staying around the bridge. Rousseau approached landscape painting with a unique perspective that combined realistic and fantastical elements. The trees have rich colors and unusual shapes, which contributes to the impression of a dreamy or fairy-tale environment.

Rousseau often used clearly defined lines and rich colors, which is characteristic of his style. In "The Bridge at Sevres" one can see his interest in depicting the joy and beauty of nature, creating original and appealing works through his unconventional artistic approach.

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.
