Item Description

Charles Fracé passed away on December 16, 2005, but his legacy as an internationally renowned wildlife artist and dedicated conservationist for more than 30 years will stand the test of time.

This is your opportunity to own a hand-signed print by this renowned artist. Print measures 30" x 20".  Unframed.

His portraits of so many of the world's beautiful animals from a leopard cub to an elephant are still admired and collected by people who have known the man and others who know of Fracé's reputation for setting the standard for painters of wildlife. 

In 1973, the artist went from illustrator to full-time artist and never looked back. With the release of Fracé's first limited edition print, massive collector acceptance of this new artist was overwhelming. Thirty years would pass as this Master of the Natural Domain painted his beloved animals and collectors eagerly awaited each new image. They knew with the artist's talent and technique that every feather, every curvature, every habitat was correct; the viewer was brought up close and personal with Fracé's animals. 

During Fracé's legendary career, he was featured in more than 450 one-man shows around the country. In 1992, the artist was honored with an exhibition of 36 of his paintings at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History.
