EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic beauty of a tiger and tigress at the Exeter Change Menagerie in 1808. Painted by Swiss artist Jacques-Laurent Agasse, this oil on canvas artwork showcases the incredible talent and attention to detail that Agasse possessed. The painting depicts the two animals standing side by side, their powerful presence emanating from the canvas. The tigress appears fierce and menacing, her snarling mouth revealing her untamed nature. The tiger stands tall with an air of confidence, its striped coat beautifully rendered with intricate animal markings. Set against an outdoor backdrop, this early 19th-century masterpiece transports us back to a time when zoological gardens were popular entertainment venues. The Exeter Change Menagerie was renowned for its collection of exotic animals, attracting visitors from all walks of life. Agasse's skillful brushwork brings these magnificent creatures to life, capturing their grace and strength in every stroke. This artwork serves as a testament to his ability to portray not only physical likeness but also capture the essence of each animal's behavior and character. Displayed in a private collection today, this painting continues to captivate viewers with its timeless appeal. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with wildlife and our desire to understand and appreciate these awe-inspiring creatures that share our world.
