Historical Reconstructions Part XVII

Peter Dunn

Since posting the initial images I had of Peter Dunn’s work, he has since reached out to me to provide further art he has done. Since I mentioned not having much information on who he was, he’s graciously provided bio information and explanations on why he does what he does that I’ve placed below. I hope this adds to your enjoyment, as it has done for me. Thank you Peter Dunn for reaching out to me and continuing to enrich our imaginations with your archaeological art.

Historical Reconstructions Part XVI

Joe Rohrer

I was hard pressed to find a home page for this Swiss illustrator that captivated me with his amazing accuracy.  He’s the first historical illustrator that I’ve seen describe himself as a Scientific Illustrator.  His focus is historical building reconstructions and archaeological biographies. You can find reference to his current credentials here.

Historical Reconstructions Part XV

André Houot

There is little to no info about this amazing illustrator online.  A wiki page has a brief synopsis on him, but I was hard pressed to find any of his work for sale.  Many of these pieces I think come from work he did maybe in the early 90’s, so maybe this compilation is just a small glimpse of his work that fits nicely into my historical reconstruction category.

I stumbled upon Ivan Lapper while researching another artist.  It usually works that way.  Many of these good images came from heritage sites which allowed me to compile some of these great works here for future reference.

Historical Reconstructions Part XIII

Fernando G. Baptista

The Fertile Crescent was the heartland of the Neolithic Revolution.

I truly wish I could find more work by this amazing artist.  I’m not completely sure that all these pieces of work are his creation alone or if it’s a team of artists at National Geographics.  If you would like to keep up with what he’s doing you can check in with him here.

Historical Reconstructions Part XII

Kelvin Wilson

 

I was lost in this artist illustrations long into the night.  I wasn’t sure at first how I would categorize his pieces.  But after a while of studying them I think its best they go under historical reconstructions.  If you want to find more of his work you can find him here.

Historical Reconstructions Part XI

Jean-Claude Golvin

This is the last of my Jean-Claude Golvin that I have.  Future historical reconstructions will be filled with other great artists that fit into this category,  because I love imagining the environment that our ancestors lived in.  Thank you Golvin for inspiring me to start this category and to dream bigger.

Historical Reconstructions Part VIII

These works are a good source for anyone trying to get concepts for world building projects, not just historical perspective. That is definitely why I started collecting these in the first place. One look at these birds eye view art pieces and whole worlds come alive.
