An English setter reclining in a landscape
By Sawrey Gilpin
Located in Stoke, Hampshire
Sawrey Gilpin (1733-1807) An English setter reclining in a landscape Signed 'S: Gilpin' lower right Oil on canvas Painting Size - 40 x 46 in Framed Size - 45 x 51 in Provenance Sale, Sotheby's London, 20th November 1985, Lot 104; with Lane Fine Art, London; The Collection of Charlie Watts of The Rolling Stones. Sawrey Gilpin came from an old Cumberland family and pursued a career as a sporting painter—a path he was encouraged to follow as a young man by the Duke of Cumberland, best known for his role in suppressing the Jacobite rising of 1745. Though based primarily in London, Gilpin maintained strong ties to the North throughout his life. He attracted the patronage of many northern sportsmen, including the passionate hunting enthusiast Colonel Thornton of Thornville Royal, for whom he painted numerous works. While Gilpin has often been overshadowed by his incomparable contemporary George Stubbs, he nevertheless stands out as a leading painter of horses and animals in his own right. His work is marked by consistent technical competence and, at times, genuine inspiration. He forms a crucial link between the early English sporting school—artists such as John Wootton and Peter Tillemans—and the later generation exemplified by John Ferneley and John Frederick Herring. In addition to his celebrated equine subjects, Gilpin was also admired for his depictions of dogs, which often display a remarkable sensitivity to character and breed. His dog portraits, whether as individual studies or as part of larger sporting scenes, reveal a keen observational eye and a particular fondness for hounds and sporting dogs. These works contributed significantly to his popularity among hunting patrons and collectors. In 1773, Gilpin was elected President of the Society of Artists, and he became a Royal Academician in 1797. Sociable and well-liked, he was a popular figure among fellow Academicians and often collaborated with them, adding animals—particularly horses and dogs—to works by painters like George Barret, William Walton, George Romney, Johann Zoffany, Philip Reinagle, and even the young J.M.W. Turner. He also taught the prolific animal painter Thomas...

Torero and Bull bullfighter bullfighting oil painting
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Title: Torero and Bull Artist: José María Tuser Vázquez (1919-1986) Technique: Oil on canvas mounted on board Dimensions: 18.9 x 15 inches Framing: Unframed Art Movement: Costumbrismo, Figurative Expressionism Theme: Bullfighting Date of Creation: Second half of the 20th century DESCRIPTION The painting Torero and Bull depicts a classic bullfighting scene, where a matador, elegantly dressed in a golden and violet traje de luces, performs a pass with the cape while the bull, wounded with banderillas, bows toward the ground. The composition conveys dynamism and tension, emphasizing the drama of the moment with loose and expressive brushstrokes. The background is rendered in warm, diffused tones, contrasting with the deep black of the bull and the vivid hues of the cape. The thick brushwork and vibrant oil application enhance the sense of movement and emotion in the scene, a distinctive feature of Tuser Vázquez’s bullfighting paintings. ARTIST'S BIOGRAPHY José María Tuser Vázquez (Barcelona, 1919 - 1986) was a Spanish painter specializing in bullfighting themes. He trained at the School of Arts and Crafts in Barcelona, where he developed a strong foundation in drawing and painting. From 1947 onwards, he dedicated his artistic production to tauromaquia, creating posters, illustrations, and paintings that captured the intensity of the bullfighting spectacle. He was a regular contributor to the magazine El Ruedo and designed a series of postcards featuring traditional Spanish costumes for Editorial Artigas in the 1940s. His work has been auctioned numerous times and is highly valued by collectors of bullfighting art...

Animal Paintings for Sale

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 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 and designs to match any home or office.
