In Scouts Attacked by a Tiger, Henri Rousseau, the celebrated master of Naïve Art, plunges us into a mesmerizing and deeply dramatic vision of the jungle's primal power. Painted in 1908, this iconic work is a key piece from his famous series of fantastical jungle scenes, which were created entirely from his imagination and visits to Parisian botanical gardens. Here, Rousseau explores the theme of nature's untamed wildness, depicting a powerful tiger ambushing a pair of figures on horseback under the luminous glow of the moon.
The canvas is a symphony of stylized forms and rich, flat colors, dominated by a dense, intricate tangle of exotic plants and leaves.
