This gallery contains a variety of paintings of animals from many different artists. The paintings are from many different time periods; some from the 1800's, some from the 20th century. Each piece of art is similar because they are all painted.
Alpine Pasture, Giovanni Segantini, 1893/1894, From the collection of: Kunsthaus Zürich
This painting is created by an artist who had just learned to use his talent. The artist created this piece by observing the mountainous plains and combining every detail into one painting.
Animal in the Mist, Tom Mboya, From the collection of: GoDown Arts Centre
This painting is of a scene of elephants painted by a Kenyan artist, Tom Mboya. Mboya urged himself to study hospitality in college but was unable to drift away from his compassion for art.
Highland Raid, Rosa Bonheur, 1860/1860, From the collection of: National Museum of Women in the Arts
The animals in this painting look very realistic; this can be credited to the many hours the artist spent in local slaughterhouses and butcher shops studying the anatomy of animals she painted.
Sheep by the Sea, Rosa Bonheur, 1865/1865, From the collection of: National Museum of Women in the Arts
This artwork was created after the artist returned from a trip to Scotland. The painting shows how much attention the artist paid to the environment around her during her trip.
Sunday PM 4, Seo, Sang Ik, 2007, From the collection of: Korean Art Museum Association
The artist of this painting is famous for his paintings of animals. He compares himself to this lion on Sunday afternoons at 4pm when he lays in bed to watch a TV show.
The Entry of the Animals into Noah's Ark, Jan Brueghel the Elder, 1613, From the collection of: The J. Paul Getty Museum
This painting is a portrayal of Noahs Ark. There are many different types of animals pictured, from elephants, to birds, to hamsters. There are pairs of each species, just as described in the story.
The "Piebald" Horse, Paulus Potter, about 1650–1654, From the collection of: The J. Paul Getty Museum
In this painting, the horse stands alert in the middle of what seems to be a storm. The artist put a tremendous amount of detail into making the horse the center of attention in this painting.
A Lion Attacking a Horse, George Stubbs, 1724–1806, British, 1762, From the collection of: Yale Center for British Art
This painting is made to look very realistic, except for the lack of blood. The horse looks very terrified and defeated. The lion looks determined and hungry. This is how I would imagine this scene.
