Read full artwork description

In Tiger in a Tropical Storm, Henri Rousseau, the celebrated master of Naïve Art, presents a mesmerizing and deeply atmospheric vision of the jungle's primal power. Painted in 1891, this work is recognized as Rousseau's first major "jungle" painting and a key piece in his renowned series. It depicts a tiger, its eyes wide with surprise, crouching amidst tall, luxuriant grasses and foliage as a torrential rainstorm breaks overhead, illuminated by a brilliant flash of lightning.

The canvas is a symphony of stylized forms and rich, flat colors, dominated by a dense, intricate tangle of exotic plants and leaves. The powerful figure of the tiger, rendered with meticulous detail in its stripes and musculature, emerges from the vibrant yellows of the tall grass, a testament to Rousseau's imaginative power. The sky, a stormy mix of dark grays and blues, is streaked with rain, while a flash of brilliant white lightning adds a sense of immediate drama and sublime terror. This painting is not merely a scene; it is a powerful evocation of the untamed wild, where nature’s beauty and its inherent violence coexist in a magnificent, dreamlike state.

This premium framed canvas reproduction powerfully conveys the luminous atmosphere and profound artistry of Rousseau's original, now with an enhanced clarity that brings every intricate detail and symbolic element to life. It is an exceptional statement piece for any sophisticated living space, a focal point that offers both visual splendor and a captivating journey into a world of dreams and enchantment, perfectly suiting eclectic, bohemian, or vibrantly modern decor styles.

Digital Restoration

Many older painting have lost their vibrancy with age as varnish yellows and dirt accumulates. Our artisans use the latest in digital technology to restore these masterpieces to their former glory.

Fredrix Canvas with HP Latex Inks

All of our reproductions are printed on archival quality Fredrix poly/cotton blend canvas for longevity and vibrancy. This canvas has a more traditional look and feel compared to the 100% polyester "canvas" used by some competitors .

HP Latex Inks are non toxic and environmentally friendly compared to harsh, solvent based inks while still providing excellent range throughout the color gamut.

Poplar Stretcher Frame

Our stretcher frame is kiln dried Poplar that has been sustainably harvested from sawmills in Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia and is Appalachian Hardwood Verified Sustainable by the AMHI.

This is the best stretcher frame available and is far superior to the MDF and imported pine used by many competitors.

Premium Resin Frames

We exclusively use premium resin frames imported from South Korea, the world leader in this frame type. See The Frame for more information.

Frames are cut by our craftsmen on industry standard 14" Pistorious Double Miter saws for perfect cuts every time.

Perfect Corners

Frames and stretcher frames are joined carefully and precisely by our trained staff. We use only the finest in programmable, Italian joiners for all of our frames.

Hand Stretched

Our canvases are stretched by hand for an authentic touch of Old World craftsmanship.

Hand Embellished

Our artisans add clear gesso embellishments over the entire canvas to bring an unrivaled level of authenticity to our reproductions. The embellishments add a depth and dimensionality that is breathtaking.

Assembled With Pride

The stretched and embellished canvas is carefully secured to the frame with furniture grade staples and plywood corner gussets are added to the frame for additional structural integrity.

Dust Cover and Wire Hardware

A kraft paper dust cover is added to the back of the artwork for a clean, professional finish and a stout wire and hanging hardware is installed for ease of hanging when you receive your Canvas Classics painting.

Quality Assurance and Packing

Your artwork is given a final quality assurance check before it is professionally packed for shipping to its new forever home.

We pack incredibly well, but parcel services can be hard on any package. If you receive your artwork with any damage, please let us know immediately and we'll help get the issue resolved.
