EDITORS COMMENTS
Tiger Asleep" is a captivating work of art by the renowned French sculptor Antoine-Louis Barye, created during the 1850s-1860s. This masterpiece, painted in oil on panel, depicts a tiger in a striking and unusual pose. The powerful predator has curled up as if asleep, its muscles relaxed and body hidden amongst the intricately patterned rocks. The scene is set in a dark, stormy forest, with ominous clouds looming overhead, casting an eerie glow over the tiger's form. Barye's attention to detail is evident in the tiger's markings, which are rendered with great precision and accuracy. The tiger's stripes are bold and distinct, creating a mesmerizing texture that adds to the overall effect of the artwork. The tiger's eyes are closed, and its breath visible in the cold, damp air, further emphasizing the stillness and tranquility of the scene. The romantic era influence is evident in the way Barye has captured the wild beauty of nature and the tiger's raw power. The use of color and pattern adds depth and dimension to the artwork, making it a true masterpiece of 19th-century animal art. This painting is a testament to Barye's skill as an artist and his ability to capture the essence of the natural world. The Walters Art Museum is fortunate to have this stunning work of art in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of Barye's craftsmanship and the beauty of the natural world he so masterfully captured. The tiger's peaceful slumber in the midst of the stormy forest is a reminder of the power and mystery that lies within the natural world, waiting to be discovered.
