"Der Hirschkampf" (The Stag Fight) is a notable painting by Christian Johann Kroner (1838–1911), a German landscape painter associated with the Düsseldorf school of painting. Created in 1868, this work exemplifies Kroner's fascination with the natural world and his skill in capturing the drama of wildlife. The painting depicts a dramatic encounter in the wild, where two stags are locked in a fierce battle for dominance. The intensity of the fight is set against a serene forest background, showcasing Kroner's ability to juxtapose tranquility with the raw energy of animal life.

Kroner's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the realistic portrayal of the stags and the natural setting. The artist's use of light and shadow, as well as his adept brushwork, creates a vivid sense of movement and tension, drawing the viewer into the scene. "Der Hirschkampf" is considered one of Kroner's masterpieces and reflects his commitment to naturalism, a style that sought to depict subjects truthfully without artificiality and avoiding artistic conventions, implausible, exotic, and supernatural elements.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the genre of animal painting in the 19th century, which gained popularity as artists sought to capture the beauty and brutality of the natural world. "Der Hirschkampf" remains an important work within Kroner's oeuvre and continues to be appreciated for its powerful representation of wildlife and its influence on the development of naturalist art in Germany.
