Jean Baptiste Oudry, "Clara"
"El Rinoceronte Clara en París / Clara, the Rhino in Paris" en 1749
El rinoceronte Clara (1738-14 de abril de 1758) fue un rinoceronte indio hembra de mediados del siglo XVIII. Llegó a Europa por Róterdam en 1741, pasando a ser el quinto rinoceronte vivo visto en Europa desde la llegada del Rinoceronte de Durero en 1515. Tras exhibiciones en pueblos de los Países Bajos, Alemania, Suiza, Polonia, Francia, Italia, Bohemia y Dinamarca, murió finalmente en Londres. Hay toda una serie de pinturas, dibujos y grabados de la época, como éste que comparto aquí.
The rhinoceros Clara (1738-14 April 1758) was a mid-eighteenth-century female Indian rhinoceros. It arrived in Europe via Rotterdam in 1741, becoming the fifth living rhinoceros seen in Europe since the arrival of Dürer's Rhinoceros in 1515. After exhibitions in towns in the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, France, Italy, Bohemia and Denmark, she finally died in London. There is a whole series of paintings, drawings and engravings from the period, like this one I share here.

Inventivdreams
Obra de un artista digital australiano identificado en deviantArt como "inventivdreams", que tiene unas cuantas cosas interesantes. Según dice "creado con photoshop, es un concepto de pintura digital conceptual pensada para una futura obra al óleo", y probablemente para una serie de pinturas con humanos y rinocerontes.

Francisco Otero Besteiro, escultor y pintor, nace el 3 de marzo de 1933 en la localidad de Corgo, en la provincia de Lugo (España) y fallece el 24 de mayo de 1994. Personaje peculiar apasionado de la filosofía y gran admirador de las personas dedicadas a la investigación científica y en especial a la medicina. Hombre de gran sensibilidad artística, buscando siempre nuevas formas de expresion, consiguió reunir una obra personal, diversa y sorprendente e incluso realizando inventos para soluciones cotidianas.

Gerry McMahon
"Rhino", 2001/2003
Otro de un escultor australiano, ésta vez Gerry McMahon del sur, Adelaida. La obra tiene 300 x 150 x 90 cm., en acero y acero inoxidable. La compró el Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Woodville South SA. En su sitio web hay unas cuantas obras más por el estilo muy interesantes. Su afición le viene de haber trabajado como vendedor de planchas de metal. Pero, como dice: "Siempre he apreciado las características del metal, particularmente su versatilidad y durabilidad, pero como artista tengo la capacidad de experimentar, explorar los límites y manipular el metal de una manera más creativa que nunca antes."
Another sculptor from an Australian, this time Gerry McMahon from the south, Adelaide. The work is 300 x 150 x 90 cm, in steel and stainless steel. It was purchased by Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Woodville South SA. On its website there are a few more interesting works of that kind. His hobby comes from having worked as a salesman of metal plates. But, as he says, "I've always appreciated the characteristics of metal, particularly its versatility and durability, but as an artist I have the ability to experiment, explore boundaries, and manipulate metal in a more creative way than ever before.
