Painting Description
"Le Repas du Lion" (The Lion's Meal) is a painting by the French Post-Impressionist artist Henri Julien Rousseau, commonly known as Henri Rousseau. Created in 1907, this work is a prime example of Rousseau's iconic naïve or primitive style, which was characterized by its dreamlike atmosphere and vivid, often jungle-themed, imagery. Despite having no formal artistic training, Rousseau gained recognition for his self-taught technique and unique artistic vision, which set him apart from many of his contemporaries.
The painting depicts a scene of a lion feasting on its prey in a lush, tropical jungle. Rousseau's use of vibrant colors and bold outlines captures the intensity and rawness of the natural world, while also imbuing the scene with a sense of otherworldly mystique. The composition is marked by its simplicity and the flatness of the forms, which are typical of Rousseau's approach to painting.
"Le Repas du Lion" is held in high regard for its embodiment of Rousseau's imaginative take on exotic locales, which he famously painted without ever having left France. Instead, Rousseau drew inspiration from visits to the Parisian botanical gardens, taxidermy specimens, illustrated books, and World's Fair exhibitions. His work has been celebrated for its pioneering role in the development of modern art, influencing subsequent avant-garde movements such as Surrealism.
Today, "Le Repas du Lion" is part of the collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it continues to be studied and admired for its enchanting depiction of the natural world through the lens of Rousseau's singular artistic perspective. The painting stands as a testament to Rousseau's imaginative power and his ability to transport viewers to a fantastical realm that blurs the line between reality and imagination.
