Henri Rousseau (1844-1910) was a French post-impressionist painter renowned for his vivid, dream-like landscapes and exotic jungle scenes, despite never having left France. Born in Laval, he worked as a toll collector before pursuing painting full-time in his forties.
Largely self-taught, Rousseau developed a unique style characterized by bold colors, flat perspectives, and meticulous attention to detail, often evoking a sense of naivety and childlike wonder. His work was initially met with derision by critics, who dubbed him a “naïve” or “primitive” artist.
However, Rousseau gained recognition and admiration from avant-garde artists like Pablo Picasso and Wassily Kandinsky. Some of his most famous works include “The Sleeping Gypsy” and “The Dream.” Rousseau’s imaginative and evocative paintings have since earned him a prominent place in art history, celebrated for their originality and visionary quality.
