Henri Julien Félix Rousseau (May 21, 1844 – September 2, 1910) was a French fin de siècle painter in the Naive or Primitive manner. He is also known as Le Douanier (the customs officer) after his place of employment. Ridiculed during his life, he came to be recognized as a self-taught genius whose works are of high artistic quality.
