    The Nineteeth-Century Lion Hunt, between Algeria and Paris

    Professor Hornstein considers the lion hunt as both a convention of European painting as well as a political motif that was directly related to French colonial expansion in North Africa, especially in the decades after the 1830 conquest. This talk is part of the 7th Annual Animal Studies Summer Institute.
