Students learned that Henri Rousseau was born in France in 1844. He was most famous for his paintings of jungle scenes, but even more amazing is that he never received any formal art lessons. He was a self-taught artist who would visit the botanical garden in Paris and look at children's boos depicting exoticisland landscapes for inspiration.
