"Arab Horseman Attacked by a Lion" is a dramatic oil painting completed in 1849 by the French Romantic artist Eugène Delacroix. This work is part of a series of paintings and lithographs by Delacroix that depict the ferocity and grandeur of lions, a subject that fascinated the artist throughout his career. The painting measures 65 x 54 cm and is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago.

The composition captures a moment of intense struggle as an Arab horseman confronts a lion, symbolizing the eternal battle between man and nature. Delacroix's mastery of movement and color is evident in the dynamic scene, which conveys the raw emotion and energy of the encounter. The artist's interest in North African culture and his travels to Morocco in 1832 deeply influenced his portrayal of the horseman and his attire, lending authenticity and exoticism to the work.

Delacroix's use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, heightens the drama and focuses the viewer's attention on the central figures of the horseman and the lion. The painting is a testament to Delacroix's skill in rendering both the human figure and animals, showcasing his ability to capture the essence of the subjects he depicted.

"Arab Horseman Attacked by a Lion" is considered an important work within Delacroix's oeuvre, reflecting his Romantic sensibilities and his preoccupation with themes of conflict and survival. It continues to be studied and admired for its powerful imagery and its contribution to the Romantic movement in 19th-century European art.
