The lion seizes an antelope at the centre of the composition. Around this hunting scene, the vegetation unfolds in long leaves, curved branches and fine grasses; a panther and birds appear among the trees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe full title, \u003cem\u003eThe Hungry Lion Throws Itself on the Antelope\u003c\/em\u003e, announces a powerful subject. The prey’s red wounds echo the red sun, while olive and brown tones surround the animals. This is no peaceful scene: its appeal comes from the meeting of an \u003cstrong\u003eimagined natural world\u003c\/strong\u003e and the tension of the hunt. Le Douanier Rousseau gives the foliage an almost ornamental design, characteristic of his \u003cstrong\u003enaïve art\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDeep greens for a living room with character\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn an uncluttered wall, the horizontal composition sits well above a low sofa or a dark wooden sideboard. Olive fabric, a brown chair or a lamp with simple lines can echo its palette without competing with the scene. Keep neighbouring patterns understated: part of the pleasure of this composition lies in the animals discovered among the leaves after the first glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA study or library can also welcome this dense botanical presence, for an art lover who prefers a narrative image to neutral decoration. Henri Rousseau’s The Hungry Lion is chosen for its intensity and its \u003cstrong\u003ehidden wildlife\u003c\/strong\u003e, rather than a childlike atmosphere.
