Working in a period of increasing interest in emotion and drama in the Romanticism movement (1790-1850), Masson followed the teachings of Antoine-Louis Barye and became associated with the group <em>Les Animaliers <\/em>(The Animalists). The paintings and sculptures of <em>Les Animaliers <\/em>captured the wild energy and temperament of nature. Their work rejected the stiff tranquility and formality of Neoclassicism (1770-1830). <em>Tigers Fighting Over an Antelope <\/em>is exemplary of this movement. Claws and fangs tear at muscle as two tigers viciously duel over the limp body of the antelope in a dramatic depiction of instinct and nature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/files\/2020\/04\/1982.2_2-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/files\/2020\/04\/1982.2_2-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/files\/2020\/04\/1982.2_2-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/files\/2020\/04\/1982.2_2-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Clovis-Edmond Masson (French, 1838-1913) <em>Tigers Fighting Over an Antelope, <\/em>19th century Bronze Gift of Mrs. Eva Frankel in Memory of Rudolph Frankel 1982.2&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Clovis-Edmond Masson studied at the acclaimed \u00c9cole des Beaux-Arts (School of Fine Arts) in France, frequently exhibiting his work at the Paris Salon.
