Facts:-
Rubens was commissioned by many of his wealthy connections to depict the wild and exotic creatures they hunted and owned as they conquered lands and colonies in Africa and the East.
Hunting animals was still illegal to most people in the 17th century and was reserved for wealthy royal subjects. Aristocrats such as the Archduke of Brussels had a zoo full of animals and Rubens would often go there to sketch and observe these wild beasts.
As Europe was still discovering these different lands, many people had not seen such creatures and Rubens would entice the viewer's imagination through wild and dramatic scenes.
His depictions were popular amongst wealthy patrons and the general public as he portrayed these animals in all their natural glory against the intellect and tact of man. Such images were also a sign of status as wealthy patrons could show that they had the money and power to hunt and own these animals.
Rubens aimed to evoke emotion with his images and he often painted the human body as tortured, exhausted or contorted as the beasts would ravage it.
Different animals were depicted as well as different ethnic groups as Rubens enjoyed painting people from all over the world for aesthetic purposes and to depict the moment of the hunt as it had actually taken place.
Lion Hunt was commissioned by Maximillian I, Duke of Bavaria. The image is one of hunters on horseback attempting to fight off a lion who threatens the life of the man in his grip. Another man kills a lion and his corpse can be seen lying beneath the horses
