Animal Artists

I always get excited when I come across an animal artist (from the past or from the present) that I never knew anything about. Other artists' styles and points of view can really inspire and make you think about your own approach toward animals.

I am wondering if you have any favorites in the world of animal art. Let me know, it might be somebody I haven't discovered yet. 

Here are three great artists whose work I found out about not so long ago.  


Eugen Bracht



Arthur Wardle



Elsie Marian Henderson

  1. I'm a fan of the paintings of Charles R. Knight!

    1. I was living a peaceful life with my family when I started noticing muscle stiffness and twitching. After seeing a neurologist, I was diagnosed with ALS. The news was overwhelming, and as the disease progressed, I lost the ability to walk and became dependent on a wheelchair.
      A friend recommended the ALS/MND protocol at DR AZIEGBE HERBS CURE. Skeptical but hopeful, I gave it a try. After three months, I noticed significant improvements—less stiffness, fewer twitches, and I could even walk short distances again, to reach out to him contact: DRAZIEGBE1SPELLHOME@GMAIL.COM
      It was a life-changing experience that brought back hope I thought I'd lost. This journey reminded me that healing can sometimes come from the most unexpected places.

  3. Let me mention a few candidates for an animal artist that a visitor of this blog might be unaware of:

    Paul Jouve
    Manfred Schatz
    Raymond de la Nézière
    Carol Marine

    Of course, most of us will recognise most of them, but being reminded of a good artist can hardly do harm.

  4. Sydney Padua has some skill in that area:

  5. Ich bin mit meinem Freund 2024 in Lüdinghausen in einer Ausstellung von Bernd Pöppelmann gestolpert.
    Dieser international bekannte Künstler hatte seine authentischenTierdarstellungen in ungemein interessanten Szenerien gesetzt.
    Umwelt und Artenschutz ist sein und war das Thema.
    Leider gab es zu dieser Ausstellung keinen Katalog. Sein letztes Artworkbuch ist ausverkauft.
    Und auf seiner Website sind nur wenige Bilder zu sehen, die 2024 ausgestellt wurden.
    Ich habe echt schlechtes Gewissen, da wir heimlich einer seiner Gemälden abfotografierten (Es gab keine Kunstpostkarten als Andenken zu kaufen).
    Daher habe ich so zumindest ein schönes Erinnerungsfoto für mein privates Fotoalbum. ☺️

  6. I am sorry to hear about the passing of Rogers Allers. He will be fondly remembered.

  8. ah animal sketching / art.. absolutely love it!
    ive always felt theres a natural affinity to drawing animals and artists/ animators... at one point it was always a side interest that id have whilst sketching at the zoo, if animation didnt work out!...

    anyway, some of my faves, for what its worth
    joe weatherly (a great nature artist, took his course once in london and truly inspired)
    e.h sheppard (love his sketches and his style went from people, animals to book illustrations)
    beatrix potter (some great animal sketches in her works also)
    glenn vilppu (he helped me once on a squirrel sketch, of course, knows his as well anatomy back to front!)
