Carl Rungius along with Wilhelm Kuhnert, Richard Friese and Bruno Liljefors are the acknowledged masters of late nineteenth and early twentieth century wildlife art. This gallery traces Rungius's career and displays the development of his style, from the tightly rendered and academic work of his early career to the more painterly and impressionistic style of his maturity. Our mission at the NMWA is to make Rungius's work available to the public and to tell his story so that all may appreciate one of America's greatest artists.
