Philippe Rousseau Art
Philippe Rousseau was born in Paris. In 1834, he made his debut at the Paris Salon, where he exhibited a series of landscapes of the Normandy countryside. He also exhibited still lifes, which were inspired by works of Jean Baptiste Oudry and Jean Simeon Chardin. He established himself as one of the first painters of his generation to paint and exhibit both landscapes and flower paintings. As a favorite artist under the Second Empire, he was commissioned by the court of Napoleon III to paint large canvases of flowers and animals, which recalled the 18th century. Rousseau also exhibited at the Salons a series of still life and allegorical images derived from the fables of La Fontaine and in 1845 won his first medal for his City Rat and Country Rat. Throughout his career, he was patronized by wealthy families including Baron J de Rothschild, Mme Grandin and Princess Mathilde. The critic Theophile Gautier in 1861 recognized him as a member of the Realist circle but also praised his intense Romantic color. Rousseau's style was much influenced by the masters of Holland and Flanders of the seventeenth century. This is an extremely fine example of a still life painting by Philippe Rousseau.

Artist Comments
Artist Lisa Nielsen captures a cool and soft atmosphere in this still-life piece. She expresses freedom to experiment with the arrangement of elements by adding glasses, teacups, and ribbons. Lisa infuses shades of blue throughout the entire composition. She adds subtle contrasts of color for easiness to the eyes.
About the Artist
There;s a certain innocent joy that comes through in Lisa Nielsen;s artwork. She finds beauty in the everyday and often ordinary, whether it;s painting a pretty girl in the garden or spending time with her daughter at Chipotle - and let;s face it, what isn;t beautiful about a burrito bowl? Lisa likes to say she captures moments in the journey of life. What we see in her art is all part of her life philosophy: to be still, to breathe, to exhaust the small moment.
