Painting Description
"The Small Lion Hunt (with One Lion)" is an etching by the renowned Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1629 during the artist's early period in Leiden. This work, catalogued as Bartsch 116, Hind 6, and Biörklund and Barnard 29-3, is part of a series of etchings that depict various scenes of lion hunts, a subject that fascinated Rembrandt and was popular in 17th-century European art. Measuring approximately 15.5 x 12.7 cm, the etching is a testament to Rembrandt's skill in capturing dynamic movement and intense drama within a small format.
In "The Small Lion Hunt (with One Lion)," Rembrandt illustrates the chaotic and violent encounter between humans and a single lion. The composition is tightly packed with figures, showcasing the artist's ability to create a sense of depth and complexity in his work. The etching is characterized by its vigorous line work and dramatic use of light and shadow, which would become hallmarks of Rembrandt's style. The scene is rendered with a remarkable attention to detail, from the expressions of the hunters to the anatomy of the lion, emphasizing the ferocity and danger of the hunt.
This work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for providing insight into Rembrandt's development as an artist. It reflects his interest in depicting narrative scenes and his study of classical and contemporary sources, including the works of Peter Paul Rubens and Leonardo da Vinci, who also explored the theme of lion hunts. "The Small Lion Hunt (with One Lion)" is held in various collections and has been the subject of scholarly attention, contributing to our understanding of Rembrandt's early etchings and his lifelong fascination with the depiction of exotic animals and dramatic action.
As an early example of Rembrandt's etchings, "The Small Lion Hunt (with One Lion)" occupies an important place in the artist's oeuvre and in the history of Dutch Golden Age printmaking. It continues to be admired for its technical prowess and its evocative portrayal of a timeless and universal human experience—the struggle for survival against the forces of nature.
