Fight between a Tiger and a Buffalo, 1908. Creator: Henri Rousseau (French, 1844-1910)
Fight between a Tiger and a Buffalo, 1908. Having never ventured outside France, Rousseau derived his jungle scenes from reading travel books and visiting the Paris botanical garden. He placed this imaginary scene of a tiger attacking a buffalo within a fantastic jungle environment in which botanical accuracy was of little importance (note the bananas growing upside down). Here, sharply outlined hothouse plants are enlarged to fearsome proportions. Rousseau was working on this painting while imprisoned for fraud in December 1907. Officials granted him an early release to finish it for exhibition at the Salon des Independants, where this major composition, one of the artists largest and most important, appeared in March 1908. A self-taught artist and retired customs inspector, Rousseau was admired by Pablo Picasso and other avant-garde artists for his originality and the naive purity of his vision

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Henri Rousseau's iconic painting, "Fight between a Tiger and a Buffalo" created in 1908. Despite never leaving France, Rousseau managed to depict vivid jungle scenes by immersing himself in travel books and exploring the Paris botanical garden. In this particular artwork, he transports us into an imaginary world where a fierce tiger attacks a buffalo amidst an enchanting jungle setting. Rousseau's attention to botanical accuracy takes a backseat in this composition as fantastical elements take center stage - notice the bananas growing upside down! The artist skillfully enlarges sharply outlined hothouse plants to create an atmosphere of awe-inspiring proportions. Interestingly, Rousseau worked on this masterpiece while serving time for fraud in December 1907. However, authorities granted him early release so that he could complete it for exhibition at the Salon des Independants. This significant work became one of his largest and most important compositions. As a self-taught artist and retired customs inspector, Rousseau garnered admiration from avant-garde artists like Pablo Picasso due to his originality and the naive purity of his vision. His unique style shines through in every brushstroke of this oil-on-fabric painting. Preserved by Heritage Art/Heritage Images and housed at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this print allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate Rousseau's genius firsthand. It serves as both a testament to his talent as well as an invitation into the imaginative realm he meticulously crafted with each stroke of paint on canvas.
