Lars Jonsson is a Swedish ornithological illustrator living in Hamra in the south part of the Swedish island of Gotland.
He is a bird artist who was closely associated with Roger Tory Peterson, and has produced many field guide books on European birds. His bird paintings are somewhat like impressionist paintings with his very own distinct style.
Lars Jonsson is widely regarded as one of the greatest bird artists of all time–no other painter of his generation captures the true look and feel of birds in the wild so beautifully.
