Product Description

Henri Rousseau was a painter that been known for his jungle paintings, painted the “Tiger in a tropical Storm” in 1891, this painting is also known as “Surprised!”. The painting shows an illustrations of the jungle and a tiger who is preparing to pounce on its prey in the middle of a raging gale. Unable to have a painting accepted by the jury of the Académie de peinture et de sculpture, Rousseau exhibited Tiger in a Tropical Storm in 1891 under the title Surprise!, at the Salon des Indépendants which was without juries and open to all artists. The painting received mixed reviews. Rousseau had been a late developer, his first known work “Landscape with a Windmill”, was not produced until he was 35, and his work is marked by a naïveté of composition that belies its technical complexity. Most critics mocked Rousseau's work as childish, but Félix Vallotton, a young Swiss painter who was later to be an important figure in the development of the modern woodcut, said of it: “His tiger surprising its prey is a 'must-see'; it's the alpha and omega of painting and so disconcerting that, before so much competency and childish naïveté, the most deeply rooted convictions are held up and questioned.”
