Henri Rousseau’s The Mill is a serene and charming depiction of village life, painted in his iconic Naïve art style. The composition features a traditional mill set against a backdrop of trees, calm water and softly rolling land. With flat perspective, simplified forms and a muted natural palette, Rousseau transforms this everyday rural scene into something quietly poetic and visually balanced.

This village landscape print brings gentle rhythm and rustic charm to any interior. Ideal for kitchens, reading corners or gallery walls that lean toward countryside themes, it invites a slower pace and a grounded sense of place. A timeless choice for lovers of early modern European art, peaceful nature scenes and the storytelling calm of Rousseau’s imagined worlds.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.

Henri Rousseau

Henri Rousseau

Henri Rousseau was a self-taught French painter best known for his vivid, dreamlike jungle scenes. Lacking formal training, his work was marked by a naïve, or primitive, style that defied the conventions of academic art. Despite early ridicule from critics and the art establishment, Rousseau was admired by avant-garde artists like Picasso, Léger, Jean Hugo, and the Surrealists, who recognized the bold imagination behind his work.

Nicknamed Le Douanier (“the Customs Officer”) due to his job on the outskirts of Paris, Rousseau only began painting seriously at age 40 and retired nine years later to pursue art full time. Though he never left France, his exotic landscapes—lush with oversized foliage and wild animals—were inspired by visits to botanical gardens, illustrated books, and stories from soldiers who had served abroad.

Rousseau believed himself to be a great realist, proudly comparing himself to Picasso. He also pioneered the "portrait landscape" genre, blending figures into rich natural backdrops. Once mocked, Rousseau is now celebrated as a visionary outsider whose work continues to inspire, including references in modern pop culture such as the film Madagascar.
