"Tiger Hunting" is an oil painting by the English artist James Northcote (1746–1831), created in 1806. Northcote, a pupil of Sir Joshua Reynolds, was known for his historical and often exotic subject matter, which reflected the Romantic fascination with the natural world and far-off lands during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The painting depicts the dramatic and perilous encounter between a group of men and a ferocious tiger, capturing the intensity and danger of the hunt.

The artwork is characterized by its dynamic composition and the vivid portrayal of the tiger, which is central to the scene. Northcote's attention to detail and his ability to convey the tension of the moment are evident in the expressions and postures of both the human figures and the animal. The painting's exotic theme was likely inspired by the increasing interest in the British Empire's territories, particularly India, where tiger hunting was considered a noble and courageous pursuit.

"Tiger Hunting" reflects Northcote's skill in narrative painting and his ability to engage viewers with compelling scenes drawn from a variety of sources, including literature, travel accounts, and the artist's imagination. As with many of his works, Northcote's painting can be seen as a product of its time, when European artists and audiences were enthralled by the allure of the 'Orient' and the natural world.

The painting is part of Northcote's broader body of work, which includes portraiture, animal studies, and historical scenes. While not as widely recognized as some of his contemporaries, Northcote's contributions to British art during the period were significant, and "Tiger Hunting" stands as a notable example of his artistic legacy. The painting is an important piece for understanding the cultural and artistic milieu of the late Georgian era, as well as the ways in which British artists engaged with and represented the wider world during a time of imperial expansion.
