Although he was given the nickname Lion by fellow painters, Wilhelm Kuhnert also spent a great deal of time painting tigers, as he does here with In the Jungle – Tigers, which is listed as No. 4216 in the artist’s forthcoming catalogue raisonné. The German painter is part of wildlife art’s “Big Four,” which also includes Carl Rungius, Bruno Liljefors, and fellow German painter Richard Friese. “The work of these four artists established a vision of wildlife and wilderness that remains with us today and had a tremendous influence on wildlife artists of the 20th century,” says Adam Duncan Harris of the National Museum of Wildlife Art.
