A significant number of artists, music theorists and art historians have explored the diversity and complexity of the nexus between painting and music over the centuries. In the field of visual arts, references to music are abundant, gaining expression both through iconographic themes and reflections on the fundamentals of musical language (rhythm, harmony, chromaticism). From the analogies and interferences between these two forms of expression, we propose a critical reading of the phenomenon in the work of Henri Rousseau, French artist who developed a particular iconography inspired by the theme, through which he explores the possibilities of the pictorial representation of music and intends to create effects of meaning which are integrated into his visual narratives.
