Henri Julien Félix Rousseau (May 21, 1844 – September 2, 1910) was a French  Post-Impressionist painter in the Naïve  or Primitive manner. He was also known as Le Douanier (the customs officer), a humorous description of his occupation as a toll collector.  Ridiculed during his life, he came to be recognized as a self-taught genius whose works are of high artistic quality.

His best known paintings depict jungle scenes, even though he never left France or saw a jungle. Stories spread by admirers that his army service included the French expeditionary force to Mexico are unfounded. His inspiration came from illustrated books and the botanical gardens in Paris, as well as tableaux of taxidermied wild animals.

Rousseaus work exerted an extensive influence…. on several generations of vanguard artists, starting with great Pablo Picasso, Jean Hugo, Leger, Beckmann, Michel Ocelot, and many more in future.
