Come closer

The French painter Henri Rousseau made his breakthrough with the painting Le lion ayant faim, se jette sur l'antilope (1898/1905). Ridiculed and scorned by art critics and the public at the end of the 19th century, at the start of the 20th Henri Rousseau became a revered artist of the avant-garde.
