Edwin Henry Landseer

Edwin Henry Landseer (1802–1873) was an English painter and sculptor, born and active in London. Educated at the Royal Academy of Arts, he is associated with the Romantic movement, specializing in animal portraiture and landscape painting, particularly of horses, dogs, and stags.

Landseer's artistic output primarily focused on depicting animals, notably horses, dogs, and stags, often within Scottish landscapes. He approached his animal subjects with a psychological depth, occasionally imbuing them with human-like qualities. Works such as "Head of a Roebuck and Two Ptarmigan" (c. 1830) and "Wounded Stag and Dog" (c. 1825) exemplify his detailed animal studies.

Beyond painting, Landseer was also a sculptor. His most recognized sculptural works are the four bronze lion sculptures situated at the base of Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square, unveiled in 1867. His brother, Thomas Landseer, created numerous engravings and etchings after Edwin's paintings, which helped to disseminate his work.
