More about this artwork

The painting "Lion guettant une proie" by the celebrated 19th-century French artist Rosa Bonheur is a striking depiction that showcases her well-known mastery in rendering animals with great detail and realism. In this powerful artwork, Bonheur captures the intense, almost palpable tension of a lion stalking its prey. The lion, with its mane richly illuminated, bears a look of focused determination and alertness. Its muscular body is portrayed in mid-motion, illustrating both the strength and the grace of this magnificent creature.Bonheur's use of color and light emphasizes the lion's golden fur against a darker, nondescript background, drawing all attention to the animal’s expression and form. The textures of the lion's mane and coat are rendered with meticulous brushwork, conveying a sense of the tactile quality of its fur. This painting not only reflects Bonheur's exceptional ability to portray animals in a lifelike manner but also her profound respect and admiration for the natural world.

Rosa Bonheur, born Marie-Rosalie Bonheur, was a French artist, mostly a painter of animals (animalière) but also a sculptor, in a realist style. Her paintings include Ploughing in the Nivernais, first exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1848, and now at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, and The Horse Fair (in French: Le marché aux chevaux), which was exhibited at the Salon of 1853 (finished in 1855) and is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York City. Bonheur was widely considered to be the most famous female painter of the nineteenth century.
