Description
Striding Lion, oil on canvas
Creation year
1984
“The first time I saw a drawing by Fritz Hug, I knew I was looking at something special. It was a lion, and it was all lions and the whole essence of this one lion. It was a lion of a lion.” This excerpt from a longer quote by Canadian animal painter Jan Sharkey Thomas also fits perfectly with this lion painting by Fritz: you can’t get any more lion than this, there is no better way to capture the character of this animal.
