Apes in the Orange Grove 1910

"Apes in the Orange Grove" is a 1910 painting by Henri Rousseau, a self-taught French artist known for his unique style of primitivism. The painting depicts a lush, exotic jungle scene with bright orange fruit and vibrant foliage. Rousseau’s fascination with the jungle, exotic animals, and nature is evident in this work. He was known for his naive and childlike approach to art, often depicting animals and plants in a simplified, almost cartoonish manner. This painting is a testament to Rousseau's unique vision and artistic sensibility, capturing a fantastical view of the natural world. This work can be attributed to the Naïve Art genre.
