An artist, especially a painter or sculptor, who specializes in depicting animals; an animal painter.
From French 'animalier' (from Latin 'animal'), a term used since the 19th century for artists focused on animal subjects, especially during the Romantic period.
Famous animaliers like Antoine-Louis Barye became celebrated for sculpting wild animals with such anatomical accuracy and dynamic power that their bronzes seemed ready to pounce—they essentially invented the modern animal art genre.
