Animals, Pets & Wildlife -
An oil painting will be the central point of any room and its mere
presence prompts visitors to take a second look. Paintings on animals
or pets very well attract the onlookers as they are loved and tamed
by many. Pets always demand some caring and attention; so do the
paintings which add opulence to your walls.
Many artists of fame have sketched the portraits of animals on
their canvases. Among them include the names of George Stubbs,
Sophie Anastasi, Samuel Walker, Henry Chamberlain etc. For instance,
George Stubbs, in the twentieth century, painted racing, hunting,
and shooting scenes, portraits of horses and wild animals. His
first dramatic subjects on the theme of a horse attacked by a
lion, and conversation pieces mostly including horses had been
widely acclaimed.
Franz Marc, another famous landscape painter, is best known for
his paintings of animals, particularly horses and deer in which
he attempted to express his mystical veneration of nature. William
Holbrook Beard also has painted a large variety of animals, rabbits,
cats, monkeys, squirrels, and bears in a very much realistic setting.
Beard was both praised and criticized for his humorous satires
in which he substituted animals for humans.
Many reproduction paintings have been undertaken on the theme
of animals, pets and wildlife which are now available online.
