Delacroix loved wild animals. In Paris, he constantly visited the zoo. In the zoo, the artist made a lot of sketches. Then these sketches turned into romantic scenes, where mighty animals seized each other or attacked hunters.
Wild imagination prompted the artist more and more turns of such subjects. These include a panther attacking a horse); a lion torturing a dead Arab; a tiger and a snake. An animal Delacroix observed only in the zoo. Often, he played on themes already developed by other artists.
Especially Delacroix liked lion hunting at Rubens, and he wrote several versions of this story. More peaceful look wild animals on the picture created in 1830 by Delacroix “Tiger cub playing with his mother.”
