Additional Details: Henri Rousseau's Fight between a Tiger and a Buffalo, completed in 1908, portrays a dramatic encounter between a tiger and a buffalo within a lush, imagined jungle setting. Despite never having traveled to such environments, Rousseau drew inspiration from travel literature and visits to Parisian botanical gardens, crafting these exotic scenes from his imagination. His jungle paintings often explore themes of nature's raw power and the primal struggle for survival, all rendered in his distinctive naïve style. This particular work is part of the collection at the Cleveland Museum of Art.
