It is not entirely clear what is happening: is the tiger cowering from the flash of lightning, or is it stalking prey?\n\nSurprised! was the first of around 20 ‘jungle’ paintings that Rousseau produced, which are among his most popular works. These jungles are entirely imaginary: Rousseau never left France, despite his claim that he had served with the French army in Mexico. The foliage is a mix of domestic house plants and tropical varieties, which he had seen at the Botanical Gardens in Paris.\n\nRousseau was a self-taught amateur artist who took up painting as a hobby. He viewed his painting very seriously, despite facing ridicule from some quarters. But a number of artist and writers, particularly from the avant-garde, hailed him as an important figure. He is now seen as a pioneer of ‘naïve art’.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/henri-rousseau-surprised\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - Surprised!\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Henri Rousseau","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509653180659,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (51 1\/8\" x 63 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509653213427,"sku":null,"price":4726.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (16\" x 20\")","offer_id":50509653246195,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (19 5\/8\" x 24 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509653278963,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (24\" x 30\")","offer_id":50509653311731,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (31\" x 38 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509653344499,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (37 1\/4\" x 46 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509653377267,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (43 7\/8\" x 54 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509653410035,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (52 5\/8\" x 65 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509653442803,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/Surprised.jpg?v=1788694822","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/surprised-ngal780","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
