For all time; artists have maintained a close relationship with the animal world; which has proved to be an inexhaustible source of inspiration. First; they received inspiration directly from their environment. Then animals were used in art for their status as domestic friends; symbols of an intimate and familial life; as well as starting points for a fantastic imagination; particularly held in high-esteem during the Renaissance. Later in Orientalism; animal art followed the discovery of exotic fauna which appealed to contemporary artists. The animal and its wild beauty are comprehended here through works of art from Albrecht Duuml;rer; Pieter Brueghel; Leonardo da Vinci; Eugegrave;ne Delacroix; Henri Rousseau and Paul Klee.
