Organized by Tate Modern in London and the Reunion des Musees Nationaux and Musee d'Orsay in Paris, last year’s exhibition “Henri Rousseau: Jungles in Paris” was a spectacular display of not just the French artist’s painting but also an extensive selection of documents and various ephemera from the period. The most interesting addition was the stuffed lion attacking an antelope from the zoological galleries at Paris’ Jardin des Plantes, where Rousseau studied the anatomy and frozen movements of exotic animals. You can see just how closely he studied the creatures in his painting, “The Hungry Lions Throws Itself on the Antelope."  The lion's claws rip the antelope's nose, it's teeth embedded in the victim's neck.  Rousseau did add a few sensational touch with the gashes and red claws marks.
