John Gould Paintings

British, 1804-1881

John Gould was an English ornithologist and bird artist. He published several monographs on birds, illustrated by plates that he produced with the assistance of his wife, Elizabeth Gould, and several other artists including Edward Lear, Henry Constantine Richter, Joseph Wolf and William Matthew Hart. Gould has been considered the father of bird study in Australia, and the Gould League in Australia is named after him. His identification of the birds now nicknamed Darwin's finches played a role in the inception of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. Gould's work is referenced in Charles Darwin's book, On the Origin of Species.

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...
