Original Description
The Hunt (Chasse Au Tigre) by Raden Sjarief Bustaman Saleh (1807–1880) is a dramatic and vividly textured masterpiece that captures the intensity of a tiger hunt in the lush Javanese wilderness. Created in 1855, this large-scale oil painting (90 x 130 cm) fuses European Romanticism—evident in its dynamic composition and play of light—with indigenous Indonesian storytelling. Saleh, often regarded as the first "modern" artist from the Dutch East Indies (present-day Indonesia), trained in Europe and bridged Eastern and Western aesthetics. The work is celebrated for its hybrid vigor: the tiger’s primal ferocity contrasts with intricate, almost ornamental foliage, reflecting both colonial-era encounters and Southeast Asia’s natural grandeur. Today, it holds pride of place as a seminal work of 19th-century Asian Romanticism, housed in the prestigious Rijksmuseum collection.
For interior spaces, Chasse Au Tigre demands a bold yet balanced approach. Ideal for a high-ceilinged study or executive office, its rich earthy tones (ochres, deep greens, and blood-red accents) pair elegantly with dark wood furniture or leather upholstery. Frame it in an ornate gilt or matte black frame to enhance its vintage gravitas, and position it as a focal point against muted walls—sage or charcoal gray would allow its drama to shine. Given its size, avoid cluttering nearby walls; instead, complement it with minimalist decor or brass accents to echo its warm undertones. In a living room, it could anchor a "colonial chic" aesthetic alongside batik textiles or teak furniture, but ensure ample lighting (a directional spotlight or vintage brass lamp) to highlight its intricate brushwork. For smaller spaces, opt for a high-quality giclée print scaled proportionally to avoid overwhelming the room.
