The Waterfall, 1910<\/h2>\n

A lighter jungle<\/h3>\n

This is one of the brightest of Rousseau\u2019s jungles. A pale blue sky sits at the top, and
\nsand-coloured hills rise behind the growth. At the left a large tree carries rounded blue-green
\nleaves on dark branches; fan palms and tall cream cross-shaped flowers stand at the centre;
\npink lotuses and a dense shrub of crimson-red leaves open at the right. The scale is cool and
\nhigh-keyed, without the black shadows of his night pictures.<\/p>\n

The waterfall, the antelope and two figures<\/h3>\n

At the lower left a narrow white fall of water drops between dark rocks; the picture takes
\nits title from it. Two golden-brown antelope stand on the bank, one of them horned, both turned
\ntowards the water. Beside the trunk at the left are two dark human figures, one standing behind
\nthe tree and one seated by a rock; they are only noticed once the eye stops following the
\nleaves. Rousseau signed the lower right corner and added the year.<\/p>\n

The last year<\/h3>\n

The canvas dates from 1910, Rousseau\u2019s final year; he died on 2 September of that year.
\nTropical Landscape: An American Indian Struggling with a Gorilla<\/a> comes from the same year and is also a large jungle canvas, so the two can be read
\ntogether as statements of one season. The Art Institute of Chicago received the painting with
\nthe Helen Birch Bartlett Memorial Collection; the reference number is 1926.262.<\/p>\n

A hothouse instead of the tropics<\/h3>\n

Rousseau never left France. He studied the plants in the hothouses of the Jardin des Plantes
\nand the animals in the Paris zoo and in illustrated magazines. He told the journalist Arsene
\nAlexandre that entering those glasshouses felt like entering a dream, and in the same
\nconversation admitted he had travelled no further than they were. That is why the leaves are
\nbotanically convincing while their proportions are invented. The same constructed world appears
\nin The Repast of the Lion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How the greens were built<\/h3>\n

Alexandre recorded that Rousseau mixed all the tones of a picture at once before touching
\nthe canvas, and that he had never seen a palette streaming with so many greens. Here the greens
\nare arranged by depth: a blue-green canopy in front, mid-green fans in the middle, pale greenish
\nhills behind. What separates them is hue, not lighting. The same handling is in Tiger in a Tropical Storm<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The route to Chicago<\/h3>\n

The painting entered the Art Institute of Chicago in 1926 as part of the collection Frederic
\nClay Bartlett gave in memory of his wife, Helen Birch Bartlett. The same gift brought the museum
\nseveral central works of late nineteenth and early twentieth century French painting, so
\nRousseau\u2019s jungle hangs in Chicago not as an isolated curiosity but inside a group assembled
\nwith a clear idea. The reference number 1926.262 carries that year.<\/p>\n

Our reproduction<\/h3>\n

We make this as a hand-painted reproduction in oil on canvas, to order, in the size you
\nchoose. Because it is hand-painted, every copy differs slightly from the last; it is not a
\nprint. The canvas is stretched on a wooden frame and arrives ready to hang. A related jungle
\ncanvas is The Equatorial Jungle<\/a>. The full range is in the Henri Rousseau gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
