Henri Julien Félix Rousseau (Laval, Mayenne, May 21, 1844 – Paris, 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 tax collector. Ridiculed during his life, he came to be recognized as a self-taught genius whose works are of high artistic quality.
