Henri Rousseau - The Dream Art Print

Virgin Forest with Sunset by Henri Rousseau draws you into a dense tropical forest just as the sun is going down. Tall palms and layered leaves fill the view from edge to edge, with yellow and pink flowers opening through the greenery and a bright red sun sitting low in the pale sky. Near the bottom, a small figure and spotted animal appear among the plants, partly hidden by the foliage. Rousseau painted these jungle scenes from imagination rather than firsthand travel, and that gives the landscape its wonderfully dreamlike quality.

Henri Rousseau was a self-taught French painter born in Laval in 1844. He worked as a customs officer in Paris and began painting seriously later in life, becoming best known for his imaginative jungle paintings filled with dense plants, animals, and vivid color.
