Tiger in a Tropical Storm (1891) by Henri Rousseau. Giclee Print on Museum Quality Matte Paper. Premium Wood Framed Wall Art.

Henri Rousseau's "Tiger in a Tropical Storm" (1891), also known as "Surprised!", is a masterful exploration of the exotic and the sublime, encapsulating the artist's unique vision through its vibrant colors and dramatic composition. Rousseau, a self-taught artist often classified as a Post-Impressionist, was known for his imaginative and dreamlike jungle scenes, despite never having visited such landscapes himself. Born in 1844 in Laval, France, Rousseau worked as a toll collector and only began painting seriously in his forties. He was often ridiculed by critics during his lifetime for his naïve style, yet he remained steadfast in his artistic pursuits.

Rousseau's style in "Tiger in a Tropical Storm" is characterized by its bold use of color and meticulous attention to detail, employing a flat perspective that lends a surreal quality to the scene. The painting depicts a tiger poised to pounce amidst a lush, rain-soaked jungle, capturing the tension and unpredictability of nature. Rousseau's philosophical approach was rooted in a sense of wonder and the fantastical, seeking to convey the power and mystery of the natural world.

The piece stands as a significant contribution to the art world, influencing later artists such as the Surrealists for its imaginative and unorthodox approach. Today, "Tiger in a Tropical Storm" is housed in the National Gallery in London, where it continues to captivate audiences with its enigmatic charm and unbridled creativity.
