Status Updates From Paleoarte: Visiones del Pas...

Amazing seeing so many classic paintings by Charles Knight and Zdenek Burian reproduced in THIS level of detail, as well as learning about less well known paleoartists like Neave Parker and Maurice Wilson who lived at the same time but had polar opposite styles.

I also like seeing an early illustration of Elasmosaurus from when people thought it had a short neck and long tail instead of vice versa!

I am familiar with much of the paleoart here but not the surrounding historical context until now - like how many of the earliest paleoartists were creationists as Darwin's theory of evolution took a while to be commonly accepted in scientific circles, and how that influenced their depictions of dinosaurs. (and those who accepted evolution understood it in significantly different ways than people do 200 years later)
