Henri Rousseau: The Naïve Genius of the Jungle
Henri Rousseau, born Henri Julien Félix Rousseau, was a French painter known for his unique and imaginative style.
Rousseau's works often depicted lush jungle scenes, exotic animals, and dreamlike landscapes, earning him the nickname "Le Douanier" (the customs officer) due to his day job as a toll collector.

Rousseau's jungle scenes, such as "Tiger in a Tropical Storm" (Surprised!) painted in 1891, are among his most iconic works. These paintings transport the viewer into a world of exotic plants, vibrant colors, and wild animals. Despite never having visited the jungle himself, Rousseau's imagination and keen observation allowed him to create these fantastical landscapes that captured the imagination of viewers.
Rousseau's style was often criticized by the art establishment of his time, who considered his work primitive and unsophisticated. However, his unique approach to painting, characterized by his childlike simplicity and vivid imagination, would later be recognized as a precursor to the Surrealist movement.
Henri Rousseau's paintings can be found in major art museums around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. His naïve and imaginative style, combined with his unique vision of the jungle, have left a lasting impact on the art world. Rousseau's works continue to inspire artists and art enthusiasts, reminding us of the power of imagination and the beauty of the natural world.
