Lion in front of Kilimanjaro, oil on canvas
Creation year
1970s
This powerful male lion strides across the steppe in Amboseli National Park, completely unimpressed by the spectacular scenery. Fritz painted this picture in his studio in Switzerland, but he visited East Africa many times to sketch the animals and landscapes there. Later, these sketches and also his travel impressions served him to turn such motifs into oil paintings.
