The imaginative and stylized exoticism of Henri Rousseau (1844-1910) stems from the Jardin des Plantes, the Jardin d'Acclimatation, and the botanical journals of the time. An original colorist, with a simple but precise style, he influenced naïve painting. Initially criticized for their lack of realism and naiveté, his "jungles" would later be universally recognized as models, hence this quote from Guillaume Apollinaire at the Salon d'Automne where Rousseau exhibited The Dream: "This year, no one laughs, all are unanimous: they admire."
This tapestry comes lined and ready to hang on the wall (it has a sleeve to accommodate a hanging bar). A certificate of authenticity is affixed to the back.

The Craye family’s weaving workshop was founded around the Year 1880 in the tapestry historic birthplace area of Flanders where it still pursues the famous tradition of master weavers in this region. Craye naturally came to specialize in the reproduction of wall tapestries by recreating the style of weaving from the 14th & 15th Centuries, but they also worked on a wide selection of adapted paintings of all times. We selected in this rich collection the most beautiful pieces which have been created, going from the Medieval period to the Art nouveau by way of the Romantic and the Impressionism.
You will find in each tapestry the wealth of an exclusive point of weaving, and the quality of a unique knowledge, using noble materials such as wool and cotton, woven on true original Jacquard looms.
