Description
This vintage, signed 1977 jungle landscape by Philton Latortue is a vibrant and finely detailed example of classic Haitian naïve painting from the Cap-Haïtien school. A prowling leopard and watchful tiger move through dense tropical foliage, surrounded by layered trees, luminous greenery, and rhythmic natural forms. Latortue’s saturated palette and meticulous brushwork capture the poetic vitality of Haiti’s wildlife tradition, where nature becomes both sanctuary and spectacle. The balanced composition and rich chromatic harmony reflect the authenticity and freshness characteristic of his early period. As a vintage 1970s Haitian painting, this work represents an important phase in Caribbean art history and is increasingly sought after by collectors of Haitian and naïve masterworks.
