Buffalo Attacked By A Tiger, Imposing Naturalist Painting From The 19th Century

Important naturalist painting in vogue in the second half of the 19th century following the fashion for exoticism strong at the time and taking up animal themes in the spirit of great painters such as Delacroix or Gericault with his fiery horses.
We also find this fashion in sculpture with the famous bronzes of Barye.
