Eurasian Woodcock Wading
Located in Stockholm, SE
Eurasian woodcock wading in a Stream by Thure Wallner, Signed Th. Wallner, oil on panel.
This charming small painting by Thure Wallner depicts an Eurasian woodcock wading in the flowing waters of a stream or brook. The bird is depicted navigating the shallow current in front of a large moss-covered stone, adding a sense of natural depth and tranquility to the composition. The soft, earthy tones and the movement of the water contribute to the atmospheric quality of the scene.
Thure Vilhelm Wallner (1888–1965) was a Swedish painter and illustrator known for his meticulous depictions of Nordic wildlife and landscapes. He developed an early passion for drawing and painting, receiving private lessons from Artur Bianchini. Around 1910, he furthered his studies at Althins school of painting in Stockholm.
Wallner suffered from poor health throughout his life, which led to isolation from other children. To occupy himself, he copied nature and animal studies from magazines, which later influenced his artistic direction. His first known work, a still life, was created in 1903. Over the years, he refined his technique, taking early inspiration from Bruno Liljefors, though his own style became highly detailed and realistic, with a deep focus on nature and wildlife.
He primarily painted Swedish fauna and landscapes, particularly from Sörmland and the Swedish mountain...

Black Mirror - Japanese Style Gyotaku Fish Painting on Mulberry Paper Framed
By Jeff Conroy
Located in Chicago, IL
This is a Gyotaku method painting of two fish on a mulberry paper background. This fish impression using minimal color is akin to a fossil. The mulberry paper has a soft hue and slightly wavy texture adding the overall feel of the artwork. The artwork is framed and matted. The framed dimensions are 25 x 36.5 inches.
Gyotaku - A Japanese word translated from "gyo" meaning fish and "taku" meaning stone impression. It is the traditional Japanese method of printing fish, a practice which dates back to the mid-1800s. This form of nature printing was used by fishermen to record their catches, but has also become an art form of its own. Gyotaku is a Japanese method of printmaking that traditionally utilizes fish, sea creatures or similar subjects as printing "plates" in its process. The literal translation of the word is "fish stone rubbing...

Horse Paintings, Giraffe Paintings, Dog Paintings and Other Animal Paintings on 1stDibs
Shopping for animal paintings?
Animal paintings depict the beauty and power of nature in an elegant way that can complement any room. Interacting with animals has long captured the imagination and has been interpreted in diverse artistic media.
Some of the oldest works of art have included animals, such as a cave painting found in Indonesia dating back more than 45,500 years that shows a wild pig in red ocher pigment. Animals have continued to appear in every era and style of art, from realism to Pop art and everything in between.
Some paintings portray animals in their natural habitat, highlighting the majesty of wild creatures roaming the plains, forests and jungles. These paintings often feature deer, tigers, wild mustangs, giraffes and other wildlife. Others focus on domestic animals such as dogs — pay a visit to the Museum of the Dog if you don’t believe us — as well as cats and how they interact with the world and their owners.
Picking the right animal painting for a room — as well as knowing how to arrange your new wall art — can take time. But, in the end, it will tastefully reflect your interests and passions. While an expansive landscape painting helps open up a small space, hanging a horse painting in a den shows a love for equine culture and can invite interesting conversation.
There is animal art to fit every collection on 1stDibs. Explore a wide selection of animal paintings and animal prints in a range of styles to match any home or office.
