Animal Depictions
Why Are Animals So Popular in Paintings?
Wild and dangerous, cuddly and affectionate, clever and creative – animals are as versatile and full of character as we humans are. They fascinate us with their appearance, their behavior, and their abilities. And they have done so for thousands of years.
It is no wonder that animal painting is one of the oldest subjects in art history. Over the years, countless unforgettable animal paintings have been created – from Albrecht Dürer's "Hare" to Franz Marc's "Blue Horse" and Pablo Picasso's "Dove of Peace".
Modern animal painting also presents many impressive works – discover our carefully curated selection now.
