{"product_id":"the-toll-house-henri-rousseau","title":"The Toll House - Henri Rousseau","description":"\u003cp\u003eA serene landscape by Henri Rousseau, 'The Toll House' features a balanced composition, muted colours, and meticulous detail, characteristic of his Naïve style. The painting depicts a toll house framed by trees and a wrought-iron gate, with figures in dark suits adding a human element to the tranquil scene.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHenri Rousseau (1844-1910) was a French Post-Impressionist painter in the Naïve or Primitive manner. Largely self-taught, he began painting seriously in his forties, and is known for his dreamlike scenes of jungles and exotic locales, despite never having left France. His work was initially met with derision, but he later gained admiration from avant-garde artists such as Picasso and Matisse. Rousseau's style is characterised by its flat perspective, meticulous detail, and use of bold, unmodulated colours. 'The Toll House' depicts a serene, almost dreamlike scene. The composition is carefully balanced, with the toll house itself positioned to the left, framed by trees and a wrought-iron gate. Two figures in dark suits stand near the building, adding a touch of human presence to the otherwise tranquil setting. In the background, a factory with tall chimneys rises above the trees, hinting at the industrialisation of the era. The colour palette is muted, with greens and greys dominating the scene, creating a sense of calm and stillness. The painting's flat perspective and precise rendering of details are typical of Rousseau's unique style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-wood-alfred-william-finch\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Wood - Alfred William Finch — Alfred William Finch\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/vase-with-pink-roses-vincent-van-gogh\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eVase with Pink Roses - Vincent van Gogh — Vincent van Gogh\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/henri-rousseau\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMore by Henri Rousseau →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Henri Rousseau","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57194776035663,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57194800808271,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57194800841039,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57194800873807,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57194800906575,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57194800939343,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57194800972111,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57194801004879,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57194801037647,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57194801070415,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57194801103183,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57194801135951,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57194801168719,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57194801201487,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57194801234255,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57194801267023,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57194801299791,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57194801332559,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57194801365327,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57194801398095,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/file_be13005e-95b2-426e-a3e4-038f9c9fd61a.jpg?v=1777055106","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/the-toll-house-henri-rousseau","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
