Eugène Delacroix, 1855 - The Lion Hunt - fine art print

Supplemental information from Nationalmuseum Stockholm website (© Copyright - Nationalmuseum Stockholm - Nationalmuseum Stockholm)

English: Delacroix often painted hunting scenes and animals fighting. This work is part of a lion hunt series he painted in the 1850s. The subject reflects a fascination for exoticism and the culture of the Muslim countries in North Africa. During a visit to Morocco in the 1830s, Delacroix had studied and made sketches of the landscape, horses and hunters on horseback – themes that were later used when he painted his lion hunts. These dramatic scenes, with their energetic compositions and warm hues, convey the new aesthetic ideals of the time. Jaktscener och kämpande djur är återkommande teman hos Delacroix. Den här målningen ingår i en serie lejonjakter som han utförde på 1850-talet. Motivet speglar tidens intresse för exotism och för kulturen i de muslimska länderna i Nordafrika. Under ett besök i Marocko på 1830-talet hade Delacroix studerat och tecknat såväl landskapet som hästar och beridna jägare – teman som senare vävdes in i hans målade lejonjakter. Dessa dramatiska motiv vittnar med sina energifyllda kompositioner och varma färger om nya estetiska ideal i tiden.
