"The Lion and the Fly", painted by Jean-Baptiste Oudry in 1732, depicts a majestic lion roaring in a rocky landscape, its powerful form dominating the foreground. The detailed rendering of the lion's fur and muscles, along with the dramatic composition, exemplifies Oudry's mastery of animal portraiture and the grand Baroque style. This painting, currently displayed at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, is a testament to Oudry's skill in capturing the strength and majesty of nature.
