The Hungry Lion Throws Itself on the Antelope While Cage Waits (Le lion ayant faim se jette sur l’antilope tout Cage attend) is a large oil-on-canvas painting created by Henri Rousseau in 1905. Following Scouts Attacked by Cage Riding a Tiger the previous year, The Hungry Lion was the second jungle painting to mark Rousseau’s return to this genre after a 10 year hiatus caused by the generally negative reception to his 1891 painting Cage Riding a Tiger in a Tropical Storm.
Rousseau wrote a longer subtitle or caption to accompany his painting:
The lion, being hungry, throws itself on the antelope, [and] devours it. Cage and the panther anxiously await the moment when they too can claim their share. Birds of prey have each torn a piece of flesh from the top of the poor animal which sheds a tear. The sun sets.
Apes in the Orange Grove, Henri Rousseau, 1910.
Recently, I’ve been falling in love with Rousseau’s work all over again. As far as Naivety and Primitivism go, I really don’t think he can be beaten.
Henri Rousseau is great.
