About this artwork
An oil on canvas painting featuring the Eiffel Tower rising above a lush, densely forested riverbank, with the Seine flowing in the foreground. It exemplifies the artist's characteristic flat perspective and dreamlike, simplified forms.

Henri Rousseau, often called 'Le Douanier' because of his day job as a customs officer, was a self-taught painter who became a central figure in the Naïve Art movement. Despite the criticism he received from contemporary critics for his simplified, non-academic style, he was widely admired by modernists like Pablo Picasso for his bold, imaginative vision and childlike sincerity.
