.
In 1831 he exhibited his " See also:Tiger devouring a See also:Crocodile," and in 1832 had mastered a See also:style of his own in the " See also:Lion and Snake." Thenceforward See also:Barye, though engaged in a perpetual struggle with want, exhibited See also:year after year these studies of animals—admirable See also:groups which reveal him as inspired by a spirit of true See also:romance and a feeling for the beauty of the See also:antique, as in " See also:Theseus and the See also:Minotaur " (1847) , "Lapitha and Centaur " (1 848) , and numerous See also:minor See also:works now very highly valued
