In 1831 Antoine-Louis Barye exhibited at Tiger and Gavial's. His inspiration came from Les Jardins des Plantes, the Paris zoo where he had studied animals in the flesh, rather than from heroic imagination. The animals were the subject of his works in their own right and not subservient to some human story. The accuracy of his work even led one critic to remark: The reality of this piece is so vivid that one feels followed by the odour of the menagerie Barye's work was in tune with the movement which was taking place in all forms of art, towards the realistic and romantic and away from the use of clumsy classical. This superbly illustrated book not only describes the work of Barye and artists traditionally associated with the animalier school, but includes the work of Troubetzkoy, Bugatti, Pompon, the American, Haseltine, such artists as John Willis Good and Sir Joseph Edgar Boehm, and brings us to the many talented artists of the present day, Kenworthy, Timym and Yarrow among them.
