"Winter Landscape with Bulfinches," Bruno Liljefors, 1891.

Liljefors (1860-1939) is regarded as one of the most influential and important wildlife painters of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Born in Uppsala, Sweden, he lived his entire life in Scandinavia with occasional trips to other parts of Europe. He supposedly had a real knack for getting along with animals and had a menagerie of creatures who surprisingly would cooperate with his desire for them to pose for his work.

A lifelong hunter, he often depicted predator/prey scenes, but is noted for never exaggerating the predator's aggression or prey's pathos; this unsentimental, documentary style won him fans.

He was meticulous in his depiction of animals in their environment. He also produced a number of sequential works, depicting a story progressing....which some feel made him a pioneer of comic art as well.
