O obrazu
The Lion Hunt is a genre painting of 1836 by the French artist Horace Vernet. It depicts a lion hunt in the Sahara. It reflects the fashionable Orientalism of the nineteenth century. It was inspired by Vernet's 1833 visit to North Africa in the wake of the French conquest of Algeria. It was exhibited at the Salon of 1836 at the Louvre in Paris. It had entered the collection of the Marquess of Hertford by 1860 and is today in the Wallace Collection in London.
