Johann Teyler

Johann Teyler (1648-1697) was a Dutch artist known for his meticulous and detailed animal studies. His work often depicted exotic creatures, such as parrots and lizards, with remarkable accuracy and a keen eye for their physical characteristics. Teyler's watercolor paintings are characterized by their precise rendering of textures, feathers, and scales, and they are considered to be important examples of early Dutch naturalism and scientific illustration.
