The Death of Munrow in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, March 2022
Title: The Death of Munrow
Date: ca. 1820–30
Culture: British, Staffordshire
Medium: Lead-glazed earthenware with enamel decoration
Dimensions: Overall (confirmed): 11 × 14 3/8 × 5 3/4 in. (27.9 × 36.5 × 14.6 cm)
Classification: Ceramics-Pottery
Credit Line: Purchase, Funds from various donors, The Charles E. Sampson Memorial Fund, and The Malcolm Hewitt Wiener Foundation Gift, in memory of George Munroe, 2016
Accession Number: 2016.129
This figure group records a specific historic event in which Hugh Munro, a British soldier, was killed by a tiger in India in 1791. Its composition was inspired by an almost life-size wooden sculpture depicting a tiger killing a European that was owned by Tipu Sultan, the ruler of Mysore in India. Tipu’s sculpture was seized by the British army in 1799 and brought to London, where it was put on public display. Its great popularity inspired the creation of the Staffordshire figure group.
