Tiger in the Jungle

About the Artist:
Paul Ranson (1864–1909) was a French painter and one of the founders of the Nabi movement, a post-Impressionist group that embraced symbolism, decoration, and imaginative expression. His style blended mythology, nature, and ornamentation, moving away from strict realism to create a symbolic visual language that helped pave the way toward modern art.

About the Artwork:
Painted in 1893, Tiger in the Jungle reflects Ranson’s fascination with the mysterious and mythical aspects of nature. The tiger is set against a dense, stylized jungle, rendered with bold lines and rich colors. Rather than aiming for naturalism, Ranson infused the composition with drama and symbolism, presenting the tiger not only as an animal but as a force of primal power within a decorative and almost dreamlike setting.

Why We Selected It:
We chose this work for its striking balance of strength and mystery. The vivid palette and symbolic composition command attention, making it a captivating focal point for any space. This piece offers more than decoration—it invites viewers into a world where imagination transforms nature into art, adding depth and character to modern and classic interiors alike.
