From 1828 · Jardin des Plantes, romanticism and movement
In Eugène Delacroix, lions and tigers concentrate flexibility, violence and color in bodies captured at rest, in play or at the heart of combat.
At the end of the 1820s, Eugène Delacroix studied big cats at the Jardin des Plantes menagerie with the sculptor Antoine-Louis Barye. He observes living animals, their remains and even dissections in order to understand the articulation of a leg, the mass of a shoulder and the elasticity of a back. This precise knowledge nevertheless nourishes a very free painting. The wild animals become energy reserves: a tiger plays, a lioness picks herself up before jumping, a lion wraps herself around an adversary. Rubens, the English hunting scenes and the trip to Morocco in 1832 enrich this imagination. Delacroix unites anatomy, a vibrant and diagonal touch to invent. clashes where the movement seems to have stopped at its most intense point. The selection "Lions and tigers by Eugène Delacroix" notably compares Young Tiger playing with his mother, also known as Study of two tigers and Lion devouring a horse. His reading favors the story.
Delacroix's beast is a living arabesque: muscles, stripes, claws and color rotate in the same momentum.
