Description |
English: Delacroix often painted hunting scenes and animals fighting. This work is part of a lion hunt series he painted in the 1850s. The subject reflects a fascination for exoticism and the culture of the Muslim countries in North Africa. During a visit to Morocco in the 1830s, Delacroix had studied and made sketches of the landscape, horses and hunters on horseback – themes that were later used when he painted his lion hunts. These dramatic scenes, with their energetic compositions and warm hues, convey the new aesthetic ideals of the time. Svenska: Jaktscener och kämpande djur är återkommande teman hos Delacroix. Den här målningen ingår i en serie lejonjakter som han utförde på 1850-talet. Motivet speglar tidens intresse för exotism och för kulturen i de muslimska länderna i Nordafrika. Under ett besök i Marocko på 1830-talet hade Delacroix studerat och tecknat såväl landskapet som hästar och beridna jägare – teman som senare vävdes in i hans målade lejonjakter. Dessa dramatiska motiv vittnar med sina energifyllda kompositioner och varma färger om nya estetiska ideal i tiden. |
