"A Lion Hunt" is an oil on canvas painting by the French Romantic artist Eugène Delacroix, created in 1855. The work is part of a series of paintings by Delacroix that depict the ferocity and drama of lion hunts, a subject that fascinated the artist throughout his career. This particular painting measures 143.5 by 172.8 centimeters and is currently housed in the Ackland Art Museum at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Delacroix, known for his expressive brushwork and use of bold color, drew inspiration for his lion hunt scenes from various sources, including his own experiences in North Africa, as well as the writings of authors such as Lord Byron. The painting captures the chaotic and violent nature of the hunt, with a group of Arab hunters on horseback engaged in a life-and-death struggle with a pair of lions. The dynamic composition, intense emotion, and dramatic use of light and shadow are characteristic of Delacroix's Romantic sensibilities and his interest in the sublime and the exotic.

"A Lion Hunt" is notable for its energetic execution and the way it conveys movement and tension. The painting's theme reflects the 19th-century European fascination with the Orient and the concept of the noble savage. It also serves as an example of Delacroix's skill in depicting animals, particularly big cats, which he studied extensively, including at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris.

The work has been analyzed for its historical context, as it was painted during the French colonization of Algeria, and has been interpreted as an allegory of the colonial struggle. However, Delacroix's primary focus was on the aesthetic impact of the scene, rather than its political implications. "A Lion Hunt" remains an important work in Delacroix's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its contribution to the Romantic movement and its influence on later artists.
