"The Dream", Henri Rousseau

About the Artwork

“The Dream” by Henri Rousseau is a mesmerizing portal into a realm where reality and imagination entwine.

Created in 1910, this iconic masterpiece invites viewers to wander through a lush, otherworldly jungle. At its heart lies Yadwigha, Rousseau’s Polish mistress, reclining naked on a divan—an almost surreal portrait. Around her, a symphony of flora and fauna unfolds: lotus flowers, birds, monkeys, an elephant, a lion, and a sinuous snake. The moon’s glow bathes this dreamlike scene, casting shadows on the verdant foliage. Rousseau’s unique style, often termed “naïve” or “primitive,” infuses every leaf and creature with wonder.

As a print, “The Dream” beckons you to explore its secrets, to lose yourself in the dance between reality and reverie. Hang it proudly—a gateway to enchantment.
