About the piece
Painted in 1854, this work by Eugène Delacroix is a quintessential example of the Romantic movement's fascination with exoticism and high-stakes drama. The composition is defined by its swirling movement and bold contrasts, as hunters and animals are locked in a visceral struggle against a dark, atmospheric backdrop.
