Rousseau “Le Douanier”: From ridicule to recognition. Henri Rousseau, born into a humble family in Laval, was initially mocked for his style, perceived as naive and amateurish, and was nicknamed “Le Douanier” by Alfred Jarry, alluding to his work as a tax collector for imported goods into Paris. History, however, has belatedly bestowed recognition upon this self-taught scholar, who was knighted by the avant-garde of the 20th century. Immerse yourself in the dreamlike world of Henri Rousseau, where the jungle plays a central role. His emblematic works transport you to exotic landscapes and invite you to “enter a dream.”
