About the Artist: Henri Julien Félix Rousseau
Henri Julien Félix Rousseau, also known as Le Douanier (the customs officer), was a French post-impressionist painter.

Despite being self-taught and facing criticism during his lifetime, Rousseau developed a unique style that later influenced surrealism and contemporary art.

Description
'Carnival Evening' is a captivating painting that invites the viewer into a mysterious wintry forest landscape. Dressed in festive carnival costumes, a group of people walk through the woods, their faces partially hidden by masks and hats. The dimly lit scene creates an air of intrigue, while the vibrant colors of the characters' outfits add a touch of whimsy. Rousseau's naïve style is evident in the painting's simplified composition, bold use of color, and flat perspective. His approach to representing nature and human figures reflects his fascination with popular culture, folklore, and exotic landscapes.
