During his lifetime, artist Carl Rungius (1869–1959) enjoyed a reputation similar to that of well-known Western painter and sculptor Frederic Remington. Though interest in his depictions of the wildlife and awesome landscapes of the West declined following his death, growing fascination with our wilderness heritage is bringing Rungius back into the public eye. Carl Rungius was the first career wildlife artist on this continent. He spent his life studying and depicting North America’s wide-open spaces and the creatures that inhabit them. Rungius’s paintings present majestic moose, elk, big horn sheep, and mountain goats in idyllic landscapes seemingly untouched by humans. He created the images that often come to mind when we think of “wilderness.” Rungius has a loyal following among collectors all over North America. Well-known wildlife artists such as Robert Bateman acknowledge his influence, and critics are re-appraising his work.
