Hunting In Art
Like it or loathe it, hunting has long been popular, both as a sport and as the subject of paintings.
Hunting is apparent in the earliest forms of art, cave paintings. Following this, the depiction of hunting in art goes back to the Ancient Greeks, when it was seen on their tableware. During the Roman period, many hunting scenes were found on their sarcophagi, and in Medieval times, hunting scenes could be found in manuscripts, wall paintings, and tapestries.

Fishing In Art
Fishing has always been a popular sport, and so, not surprisingly, its depiction in art has been popular. Likewise, fishing as a source of food goes back at least 40,000 years, with cave art containing fish and fishing from around 16,000 years ago!
We have a variety of paintings on our website with a fishing theme. You can view them all here: https://snip.ly/mxki32

Victorian Art
With such a long reign, it's understandable that Victorian art encompasses a wide range of styles, starting with art from the Royal Academy, strongly influenced by the Italian Renaissance painter, Raphael, to the pre-Raphaelite movement of the 1840s and 50s and the later aesthetic movement, depicting beauty and noble deeds.
Whatever your favourite genre, you'll find something to love in the Victorian era.

Animals In Art
There’s something about animals in art that is quite delightful. Very different from portraiture, but also very similar.
From dogs to cattle, cats to horses, animals have always been a popular subject, so here is a selection of animal-themed paintings.

Netherlands Artist
There’s certainly no shortage of great artists from the Netherlands, probably the most famous of whom were Rembrandt and Van Gogh.
We don’t have any works by those particular two artists in the galley, but we do have a fine collection of Dutch art.

Fruit In Art
Depictions of fruit in art can be dated back 3000 years to Ancient Egypt, where still-life paintings of food could be found in the majority of Egyptian tombs. The common belief of the era was that these artistic representations would become tangible in the afterlife, permitting the deceased to feast upon them.
The fruit, like human life, is intended to portray the transient nature related to our existence.
Specific fruits have different symbolic meanings they’ve acquired through time, due to myths and legends of varied cultures. Fruits intermingle the background and with the colours, artists choose to represent diverse events and evoke various emotions.
Here’s a collection of some of our fruit-themed still-life paintings. You can view our full collection on our website here: https://snip.ly/06m58a
Cows & Cattle In Art
Cows and cattle have a long history in art. People have been painting bison and wild cattle in Europe for more than 17,000 years. From cave paintings to the Ancient Egyptians and right through to the present day. These livestock have always been so important in sustaining us as a society, it's hardly surprising that they get so much coverage!
Farming Art
Some of the world's greatest art depicts life on the farm. From Renoir to Monet, Klimt to Van Gogh, the great masters, and many others, have painted farming landscapes over the years.
