About the piece
Completed in 1910, 'The Dream' is one of Henri Rousseau's most celebrated works, marking the culmination of his famed jungle series. The painting is a masterpiece of Post-Impressionism, juxtaposing the domesticity of a velvet sofa with the wild, lush environment of a tropical forest. It is inhabited by a variety of animals, including lions and colorful birds, all depicted with the vibrant colors and meticulous detail characteristic of Rousseau's 'primitive' technique.
