Lions in a Mountainous Landscape ca. 1818-20 Théodore Gericault French This vigorous painting of six lions in a remote, spectrally illuminated lairpossibly intended to evoke the Atlas Mountains of Moroccois an extraordinary example of Gericault’s spontaneous handling of paint. Rather than applying finishing touches to make a polished cabinet picture, the artist left the painting in a state known as an esquisse, or sketch, a work prized by fellow artists for its strength of directly capturing a subject or effect. Until its acquisition by the Museum, the composition was known only by means of a replica (Musée du Louvre, Paris), which is thought to have been painted by an artist in Gericault’s circle.
