From the collection of Los Angeles County Museum of Art
The Lion Hunt is a 1735 unspecified by Jean-François de Troy, a Rococo painting work, depicting Tree, held at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
The painting depicts a chaotic scene of men on horseback, armed with spears, attacking a group of lions. The men are dressed in traditional Middle Eastern attire, with turbans and flowing robes. The lions are shown in various states of distress, with some appearing to be wounded or dead. In the background, a rocky outcropping and trees are visible, adding to the sense of drama and tension in the scene. The use of chiaroscuro, with strong contrasts between light and dark, adds depth and emotion to the painting. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Jean-François de Troy.
Jean-François de Troy (27 January 1679, Paris – 26 January 1752, Rome) was a French Rococo easel and fresco painter, draughtsman and tapestry designer.
