Original Description
Raden Saleh Sarief Bustaman's Lion And Tiger Fighting Over Prey is a dramatic masterpiece that captures the raw intensity of nature's primal struggle. Painted in 1857 during the artist's European sojourn, the work reflects a fascinating fusion of Javanese cultural sensibilities with Western Romanticism and academic realism. The composition throbs with kinetic energy—a muscular lion and striped tiger locked in mortal combat, their bodies twisting dynamically against a stormy sky. Saleh's virtuosic handling of fur textures and anatomical precision rivals European animaliers like Delacroix, while the exotic subjects reveal his Southeast Asian perspective. As the first modern artist from Indonesia to achieve international acclaim, Raden Saleh created this work during a pivotal period when colonial-era artists were bridging Eastern and Western traditions. The painting's symbolic tension between predator species has been interpreted as allegory for political struggles, making it historically significant beyond its artistic merits.
For interior styling, this painting commands attention best in spaces with classic or global eclectic decor. Ideal placements include above a fireplace in a study with dark wood furnishings or as a focal point in a corporate lobby with high ceilings. The 90x116cm dimensions (approximate) suit large walls; consider framing with ornate gilt to echo its 19th-century origins or a minimalist black float frame for contemporary contrast. Balance its warm earth tones by pairing with cognac leather chairs or persimmon-hued textiles. In offices, position opposite windows to utilize natural light that enhances the dynamic brushwork, avoiding clashing with busy wallpaper patterns. The dramatic subject matter suits spaces meant to convey power—boardrooms or libraries—where its symbolic struggle can subtly underscore themes of strategic competition.
