Wonderful: This book, together with "The art of Robert Bateman" is one of the best wildlife art books ever published, and truly shows Bateman at his best. The later collections (especially the very last ones) don't even come close to the beauty of the paintings in these two books. In most paintings the animal is just one character, sometimes not even the main one, while the landscape and the surroundings (depicted in marvelous and maddening detail) almost always plays a central role. Here Bateman shows to be a master of the techniques he uses, and creates pictures of stunning beauty who truly come to life. Both books are highly highly recommended if you life "realistic" wildlife art.
The world of Robert Bateman: Very nice artwork. I especially like the polar bear in the white-out.
Anything by Bateman is a masterpiece on the page: If you love wildlife and want to have a collection of photographs that are such good quality it's almost as if you are there in real time, buy any Robert Bateman book. You won't be disappointed. But you will be awed and amazed. Browse this link to see limited editions of his work. http://www.artandnature.com/bateman/a-z.html Amazing beauty in nature. And Bateman knows how to capture it for all time through the shutter and to the page.
