Rhinoceros Attacked by Tigers, Bronze sculpture in Tuileries Garden, France
The bronze sculpture depicts a fierce confrontation between a rhinoceros and tigers, measuring 1.75 meters in height and 3.3 meters in width.
Auguste Cain completed this bronze masterwork in 1882, which was later exhibited at the Salon of 1884 and the Exposition Universelle of 1889.
The sculpture represents 19th-century French artistic interest in exotic animals, influenced by studies at the Jardin des Plantes natural history museum.
Located near the Terrasse des Feuillants steps in the Tuileries Garden, visitors can observe the detailed engravings including the artist's name and completion date.
The dynamic composition captures a moment of intense animal combat, demonstrating Cain's expertise in anatomical precision through bronze casting techniques.
