Military genre, battle scenes

Morot had been attached to the General Staff of the French Army, which had given him ample opportunity to study cavalry men and horses. To study the movement of the horses he used his eye as a camera by the use of a simple device that he could open and close rapidly in front of his eyes to better isolate the movements. This allowed him to vividly paint several historic cavalry charges from the

Paintings of animals

Morot excelled in portraying animals, which appeared in many of his other paintings, such as the horses in his historic cavalry paintings, a donkey in ''Le bon Samaritain'', a pig in ''Temptation of Saint Anthony'', a snake in ''La Charmeuse'', lions in ''Lion before his Prey'' and ''Reclining Lions'', ''Rex'' and ''Au Tableau'', tigers in ''Tigre'' and ''Deux Tigres Combattant'', dogs in ''Mademoiselle Brice'' and ''Jacques Goldschmid'' and a cat in the painting of his daughter ''Denise with Cat'' (1899).


International travel

His visits to Spain inspired him to Spanish motifs, such as the paintings of ''Toro Colante'' displayed at the Salon de Paris in 1885 and of which gravures were published in Le Monde Illustré in 1887 and ''El Bravo Toro!''. which was exhibited in the Salon in 1884 and later featured on the cover of Les Annales politiques et littéraires after his death in 1913. These paintings were painted from memory after Morot had visited a series of bull fights in Spain. Aimé Morot loved hunting and travelled extensively. In 1889 he travelled to Morocco in the company of the French novelist and naval officer

This resulted in ''Au Tableau'' (1902), representing the return from the hunt with a killed lion being carried up on a river bank by Africans, which is in the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Nancy. Although he travelled widely, he produced few works in the
