Browse our collection of original vintage and antique animal oil paintings, dating from the 18th to early 20th century. Every work is a unique one-of-a-kind piece, sourced personally across Europe — once it sells, it is gone.
Animal painting has a proud tradition in European art, particularly in the Netherlands, where artists like Paulus Potter in the 17th century elevated cattle and farm animals to serious artistic subjects, and in Britain, where 18th and 19th-century sporting painters like George Stubbs and John Frederick Herring made horses and hunting scenes a beloved genre. Across Europe, painters from the Barbizon School to Dutch rural realists captured working animals, pets, and wild game with the same care they gave to any other subject.
Our animal paintings collection includes a wide range of subjects: horse paintings (saddled horses, horses at pasture, racing and hunting scenes), cattle and cow paintings (a particularly strong Dutch tradition), dog portraits and hunting dogs, sheep and pastoral flocks, birds and game birds, and scenes of farmyards and stables. For related subjects, browse our landscape paintings for pastoral countryside scenes, or our Dutch paintings collection for work in the strong Netherlandish animal painting tradition.
Each piece is an authentic original oil on canvas, board, or panel — many signed, many with visible age-related craquelure that tells you immediately you are looking at a genuine antique. Every listing gives you the era, medium, dimensions, attribution, and condition. Many paintings include their original frames.
New animal paintings are added regularly. If one speaks to you, act quickly — there is only one of each.
