Artwork: Tiger in a Tropical Storm or Surprised !
Painter: Henrie Rousseau
Source: The National Gallery, London

Tiger in a Tropical Storm or Surprised! is an 1891 oil-on-canvas painting by Henri Rousseau. It was the first of the jungle paintings for which the artist is chiefly known. It shows a tiger, illuminated by a flash of lightning, preparing to pounce on its prey in the midst of a raging gale.

Unable to have a painting accepted by the jury of the Académie de peinture et de sculpture, or the Academy of Painting and Sculpture, Rousseau exhibited Tiger in a Tropical Storm in 1891 under the title Surpris!, at the Salon des Indépendants, which was unjuried 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.

Very good communication, I asked questions about sizing and got a quick and precise answer. The order was sent quickly. One small extra service I would love is to have a pre-paid return label included in the parcel. I am happy to pay for the return price (eg you could deduct it from the reimbursement made) but having a pre-paid label would allow me to just drop the package to a parcel shop or locker, instead of going to the post office and make the whole process which takes time and can only be done at certain hours.
