MoreNo branch of art requires a more earnest interest in the subject than that of animal painting, or more early displays itself in thedawning genius of the destined artist. This is one of the most recent fields of art. Sneyders, VV eenix, and Wouverman, who were Dutch painters of the seventeenth century, are the first noted animal painters.
