I'm a little sad that this article is called "Animals Found In Art Pieces Through History" and 80% of the pieces are from the last 3 years or so :/ I guess 2021, 2022, and 2023 ARE "history", but I'd have preferred an article titled "Art Pieces Through History" to have ACTUAL historical art pieces. I'm sure they could be found :p

They switched the title right after you complained about it. Apparently people at BP DO read our comments every now and then. Good job, Lakota!

No Louis Wain? His cat paintings are amazing and an excellent insight into his mental deterioration. Theodore Kittelsen is well worth a look although a lot of his animals are more mythical. I did enjoy this article though, especially the older works.

The idea that Louis Wain's paintings deteriorated as his schizophrenia progressed is inaccurate. They were purposely put in nonchronological order by someone (Walter Maclay) to try to prove a point about personality deterioration affecting artistic output that wasn't accurate.
