Painter Hua Yan painted the tiger as a "sick cat", but why is it called a famous painting handed down from ancient times?

In the law of the jungle and natural selection, the tiger has always been a symbol of ability, because it has a vigorous posture and a strong body. This animal at the top of the food chain is called the king of beasts in the forest, because its image and strength stand out among many animals. However, such a creature representing ability, in the painter Hua Yan's pen, has portrayed it as delicate and touching and morbid, which is contrary to the real animal appearance. But this kind of painting is called a famous painting handed down from ancient times for a reason.

In this painting, you can see that the tiger looks very embarrassed. Squatting down and trying to cover his face with one paw is a sign of fear. In other tiger portraits in history, the tiger is a majestic image, showing a completely opposite face to other paintings. In fact, it is also because there are some details in this painting that people have not noticed.

In the paintings of Hua Yan, a painter in the Qing Dynasty, this tiger shows the most instinctive reaction in the natural boundaries and is lifelike. Through such a painting, we can also appreciate some truths of nature. This painting also handles the details well, whether it is weeds or tiger hair, many details are very realistic. You will find that the tiger's eyes look up to the right, and if you look down at the tiger's eyes, you will see the traces of wild bees, which is an important reason why the tiger looks sick. Even the king of beasts, he dared not be presumptuous in front of tiny wild bees, but curled up and tried to avoid the attack from Yemen.

Therefore, such a tiger portrait is not only as simple as it looks on the surface, but also contains a very profound truth behind it. It shows that different creatures in nature complement each other. At the same time, I also express my feelings through such a painting, so it is not only a painting, but also the reason why it is called a famous painting handed down from ancient times.
