Henri Rousseau’s The Hungry Lion Throws Itself on the Antelope is a striking example of Naïve art and one of his most dramatic jungle scenes. Painted in 1905, this richly detailed composition captures the raw moment of nature’s intensity as a lion pounces on its prey, framed by a lush and intricate jungle teeming with life. Despite never visiting a jungle himself, Rousseau’s imagination and precise layering of flora and fauna create a vivid, dreamlike world that feels both surreal and captivating.

This jungle wildlife art print is ideal for those drawn to bold storytelling and natural drama. The deep greens, shadowed foliage and golden animal tones add depth and texture to any interior space. Perfect for eclectic walls or statement pieces, this iconic Rousseau masterpiece continues to inspire with its blend of fantasy, symbolism and emotional power. A must have for collectors of classic art, Naïve painting and untamed nature scenes.

Henri Rousseau

Henri Rousseau

Henri Rousseau was a self-taught French painter best known for his vivid, dreamlike jungle scenes. Lacking formal training, his work was marked by a naïve, or primitive, style that defied the conventions of academic art. Despite early ridicule from critics and the art establishment, Rousseau was admired by avant-garde artists like Picasso, Léger, Jean Hugo, and the Surrealists, who recognized the bold imagination behind his work.

Nicknamed Le Douanier (“the Customs Officer”) due to his job on the outskirts of Paris, Rousseau only began painting seriously at age 40 and retired nine years later to pursue art full time. Though he never left France, his exotic landscapes—lush with oversized foliage and wild animals—were inspired by visits to botanical gardens, illustrated books, and stories from soldiers who had served abroad.

Rousseau believed himself to be a great realist, proudly comparing himself to Picasso. He also pioneered the "portrait landscape" genre, blending figures into rich natural backdrops. Once mocked, Rousseau is now celebrated as a visionary outsider whose work continues to inspire, including references in modern pop culture such as the film Madagascar. See more by Henri Rousseau →
