Tiger in a Tropical Storm, c. 1891 by Henri Rousseau

Tiger in a Tropical Storm, by Henri Rousseau A tiger crouches low in wind-bent grass as diagonal streaks of rain slice across a dense jungle backdrop, its wide eyes and bared teeth caught in a moment of startled tension. Rousseau (French, 1844-1910) painted the scene entirely from his imagination and visits to Paris's botanical gardens, and it became one of the first works to establish his reputation as a painter of invented tropical wilderness.

Artist: Henri Rousseau (French, 1844-1910). Date: 1891.
