Theme: "Animal soul"

The animalistic genre in the visual arts is, perhaps, the oldest one in history. It was the images of animals that ancient man applied to the walls of caves, which became his first dwelling. Such caves with the oldest decor can be found all over the world: in Europe, Africa, Australia, North and South America.
Many centuries have passed since then. Painting, drawing and sculpture have acquired a rich history, at the same time the animalistic genre - paintings by famous artists are the sound evidence of this - has remained no less popular and is in demand both among artists and among art lovers who want to purchase such works.
