A man walks into the greenhouse in a botanical garden, sits down , and falls asleep. In his dreams, he wanders into a jungle where he undertakes incredible adventures. Henri Rousseau (1844-1910) wanted to be a famous artist even though he was working as a customs official, and sought refuge from everyday life by painting fascinating pictures. In his works, monkeys play among tropical flowers and mysterious figures lure the viewer into an exotic world.
