The Dream

The Dream (1910, Le Rêve) by Henri Rousseau is one of more than 25 jungle scenes he painted. It is a surreal portrait of Yadwigha, Rousseau's Polish mistress from his youth, lying naked on a divan. She gazes over a landscape of lush jungle foliage and lotus flowers, listening to a snake charmer playing the flute, surrounded by animals including birds, monkeys, an elephant, a lion and lioness, and a snake. An interpretation offered by Rousseau is that it depicts a woman reclining on a couch in Paris, dreaming she is in the jungle. Suspecting that some viewers did not understand the painting, he wrote a poem to accompany it, Inscription pour Le Rêve:

Yadwigha in a beautiful dream, Having fallen gently to sleep, Heard the sounds of a reed instrument, Played by a well-intentioned [snake] charmer. As the moon reflected, On the rivers [or flowers], the verdant trees, The wild snakes lend an ear, To the joyous tunes of the instrument.

Giclée Prints

Giclée prints are created on professional inkjet printers using archival quality, acid-free paper or canvas. Unlike a normal inkjet, prints are created using 12 different colors cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow, black, matte black, light magenta, light cyan, light gray, very light gray, orange, green, and violet) to provide the best possible color reproduction.

Our art prints and canvases maintain the highest possible detail, preserving color, scale, proportions and visual textures, an accurate reproduction of the art.
