EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Henri Rousseau Scouts Attacked by a Tiger" transports viewers to a mesmerizing world of untamed wilderness. Painted in 1904 by the self-taught artist Henri Rousseau, this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases his remarkable ability to create enormous jungle scenes through meticulous study of plants and taxidermy animals at Paris's natural history museums. During the height of the colonial period, works like these were immensely popular among Parisian audiences for their dramatic portrayal of France's distant territories as both exotic and violent. The sheer size of the painting, measuring 47 7/8 x 63 3/4 inches (121.6 x 161.9 cm), adds to its grandeur and immerses spectators into an awe-inspiring spectacle. Rousseau's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, as he skillfully captures the tension between man and nature. In this particular scene, scouts find themselves under attack from a fierce tiger amidst dense foliage. The juxtaposition of human vulnerability against the backdrop of an unforgiving environment evokes a sense of danger and adventure. While admiring this artwork, one cannot help but marvel at Rousseau's ability to transport us into his vivid imagination where reality blends seamlessly with fantasy. This print serves as a testament to his artistic prowess and continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide with its timeless allure.
