Jean Jacques Rousseau

This is an outstanding French artist who loves nature and forest. He is really good at drawing trees and jungle even though he actually  has never seen a real forest in his whole life. He's work is full of innocence and strange elements.The most famous masterpiece is called <The Sleeping Gypsy>.The fantastical depiction of a lion musing over a sleeping woman on a moonlit night is one of the most recognizable artworks of modern times. It makes me feel silent and mysterious.I try to find answers in this picture but nothing has been found,which makes me feel empty and lonely too,Rousseau was a successful composer of music, who wrote seven operas as well as music in other forms, and made contributions to music as a theorist. During the period of the French Revolution, Rousseau was the most popular of thephilosophes among members of the Jacobin Club. Rousseau was interred as a national hero in the Panthéon in Paris, in 1794, 16 years after his death.
