Description
Ring-Tailed Lemurs of Madagascar, oil on canvas
Creation year
1978
Carl von Linné called the prosimians of Madagascar lemurs because their mostly nocturnal lifestyle, large eyes and cries made him think of the gods of the dead in ancient Rome. With their spectacular, large and strikingly colored tails, the ring-tailed lemurs are the best-known representatives of their genus. With the composition of this group of animals, the four pairs of glowing eyes and the ornamental background, Fritz has once again succeeded in creating a spectacular picture.
