The sculptor Antoine-Louis Barye (French, 1795-1875) was fascinated by the primal energy of the animal world. To him and other Romantic artists, the unrestrained and unfettered actions of animals were regarded as true embodiments of instinct, a quality they valued over reason. Barye closely studied the anatomy of animals and their movement, incorporating realistic details into his representations.
