About the piece
Painted in 1894, this work by Henri Rousseau depicts a group of artillerymen in uniform, gathered around a large field gun. Known for his 'primitive' or naïve aesthetic, Rousseau captures the figures with a stiff, formal charm that contrasts beautifully with the lush, leafy backdrop of the French countryside.
