About ‘Landscape with four fishermen, Henri Rousseau - 1909’
Henri Julien Félix Rousseau (Laval, 21 May 1844 - Paris, 2 September 1910) was a French painter. He bore the nickname "Le Douanier" because he worked in customs. His work remained unnoticed for a long time, but once discovered it was praised for its artistic quality. Rousseau has never been outside France, and must have taken his inspiration from illustrated books and botanical gardens. By the way, he claimed to have been sent to Mexico during his military service. Henri Rousseau died at the age of 66. Henri Rousseau's works belong to post-impressionism. He worked in a naive or primitive style. He worked for a long time on his paintings and therefore does not have a large oeuvre. Rousseau generally painted landscapes, sometimes a cityscape, with a figure in the foreground. He called these his 'portrait landscapes'. Most famous of him are his jungle scenes, which he inspired on his visits to the Natural History Museum and the greenhouses in the Jardin des Plantes in Paris[1].
