Collection: Henri Rousseau

Henri Rousseau, often known as "Le Douanier," is celebrated for his distinctive style of naive or folk art, marked by its simplicity, vivid colors, and imaginative landscapes. His paintings, such as "The Sleeping Gypsy" and "The Dream," feature lush, surreal jungles and fantastical scenes that reflect his unique vision and self-taught approach. Rousseau’s art, characterized by its directness and dreamlike quality, has had a lasting influence on modern art, particularly within the realms of surrealism and primitivism.
