EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: Large Lion, early 1830s Artist: Antoine-Louis Barye (French, 1796-1875) Date: Early 1830s Description: This artwork, created by the renowned French artist Antoine-Louis Barye in the early 1830s, showcases a large lion in its natural habitat. The lion, a symbol of power and majesty, is depicted in a striking and lifelike pose, lying down with a direct gaze that seems to pierce through the viewer. The artist's masterful use of sgraffito technique, a method of scratching through layers of color to reveal underlying hues, brings the lion's textured coat and muscular form to life. The lion's setting is a rugged, rocky landscape, further emphasizing its wild and untamed nature. The use of watercolor and scraping on beige thick smooth wove paper adds to the artwork's richness and depth, creating a sense of authenticity and realism. Barye's Large Lion is a prime example of the Romantic era's fascination with the natural world and the animal kingdom. The concept of observing and capturing the raw beauty and behavior of animals was a popular theme during this period, and Barye's artwork stands out for its exceptional detail and emotional intensity. This print is now part of the esteemed collection at the Walters Art Museum and serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Antoine-Louis Barye and the Romantic era in art history.
