About the piece

Painted in 1834 by Louis-François Lejeune, this work captures the dramatic intensity of a bear hunt near the Lac d'Oô in the French Pyrenees. The composition masterfully balances the chaotic action of the foreground—populated by hunters, horses, and hounds—with the majestic, serene backdrop of a towering waterfall and snow-dusted mountains. The piece serves as a remarkable example of 19th-century European Romanticism, blending naturalist detail with atmospheric grandeur.
