In The Repast of the Lion, Henri Rousseau, the celebrated master of Naïve Art, plunges us into a mesmerizing and primal vision of the jungle. Painted in 1907, 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 a central theme of nature's raw and unforgiving power, depicting a lion feasting on its prey amidst a riot of exotic plants and flowers.
The canvas is a symphony of stylized forms and rich, flat colors. A magnificent lion, with a powerful, almost sculptural form, is the central focus, its gaze fixed on its kill. The surrounding jungle is a dense, intricate tapestry of meticulously painted leaves, fantastical yellow and blue flowers, and a looming moon that casts an ethereal, otherworldly glow. Rousseau’s genius lies in his ability to imbue this scene of primal violence with an almost serene, dreamlike quality, blurring the line between beauty and terror. This painting is a profound evocation of the untamed wild and the timeless, beautiful, and brutal cycle of life.
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.
