"Tiger Family, Korea" , Joseon dynasty

Collection: The Cleveland Collection

In deep mountains, a tigress, two cubs, and a leopard welcome the early morning sun. This is not merely a playful scene but a well calculated image with symbols of longevity (pine trees), prosperity (tigress and cubs), and good fortune (leopard). Traditionally, on New Year´s Eve, the image of a fearsome-looking tiger was pasted on entrance doors to ward off evil spirits. Conventional Korean tiger paintings often include frolicking magpies, but here, the crimson sun is placed behind a majestic pine. Through the sunrise and the details of the felines skin shines the artist´s keen interest in creating a realistic atmosphere. "fun_fact": "A great number of tigers used to have live in the Korean peninsula. An old Chinese proverb says: \Korean people hunt tigers half of the year, and tigers hunt people other half of the year."
