But a century after he died penniless in Paris, the public has taken Henri Rousseau to their hearts. A woman looks at a painting by French artist Henri Rousseau. And "the most exotic of exotic painters" as the poet Apollinaire called him, rarely set foot outside Paris. A self-taught "Sunday painter" who couldn't do hands and who was laughed at by other artists for his amateurish technique. The Rousseau show travels to the National Gallery of Prague in the Czech Republic in September where it will run until January 15th.
