Artist: Eugène Delacroix - Title: The Lion Hunt - Medium: Fine Art Reproduction Giclee on Canvas - Image Size: Approximately 22.75 inches x 32 inches - Unframed on Unstretched Canvas - Biography: Delacroix often painted hunting scenes and animals fighting. Like many other artists of the romantic era, he was fascinated by oriental and exotic locales. In 1832 he made a long trip to Morocco that provided lasting inspiration for his work. In large, colourful paintings, lions, tigers, and hunters on horseback fight to the Death. But Delacroix had most likely never seen such scenes, nor even wild animals in their natural habitat (although Barbary lion was not extinct in Morocco until the 1960s). Instead, he used detailed studies of animals in zoos and of the people and material culture of North Africa to create his pictures.
