Henri Rousseau, a self-taught toll collector who painted in his spare time, was famously nicknamed 'Le Douanier'. This painting is a quintessential example of his style, where he incorporates modern technology like airplanes into serene, almost dreamlike landscapes, highlighting his fascination with the rapid changes occurring in early 20th-century France.
