EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Henri Rousseau, titled "Tropical Forest: Battling Tiger and Buffalo" the viewer is transported into a lush and exotic world. Painted in 1908, during the early 20th century, Rousseau's masterpiece showcases his unique style and imaginative vision. The painting depicts a dramatic scene of nature's raw power as a fierce tiger engages in a battle with a formidable buffalo amidst the dense vegetation of the jungle. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life the rich flora that surrounds these majestic creatures. Rousseau's mastery lies in his ability to capture both the beauty and danger of this untamed wilderness. The contrasting elements of fragrant flowers blooming alongside predatory felines create an atmosphere that is both alluring and menacing. As one gazes upon this artwork, it becomes evident why Rousseau was known as "Le Douanier" or "the customs officer". Despite having no formal training in art, he skillfully combines his imagination with meticulous brushwork to transport us to distant lands we can only dream of exploring. This particular print is part of the esteemed collection at The Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, Russia. It serves as a testament to Rousseau's enduring legacy as one of France's most celebrated artists. With its vivid colors, dynamic composition, and evocative subject matter, "Tropical Forest: Battling Tiger and Buffalo" continues to captivate viewers even over a century after its creation.
