Description
Henri Julien Flix Rousseau (21 May 1844 2 September 1910) was a French post-impressionist painter in the Nave or Primitive manner. He was also known as Le Douanier (the customs officer), a humorous description of his occupation as a toll and tax collector. He started painting seriously in his early forties; by age 49, he retired from his job to work on his art full-time. Ridiculed during his lifetime by critics, he came to be recognized as a self-taught genius whose works are of high artistic quality. Rousseau’s work exerted an extensive influence on several generations of avant-garde artists. Puzzle measures 19.25×26.6 inches completed.
