Paleo Art
With his extraordinary attention to detail, Michael Wachtler brings to life worlds that disappeared millions of years ago. Today, we can photograph landscapes in every detail, but what happened in the past can only be hypothesized. This is where Michael Wachtler’s expertise comes in — throughout his life, he has recovered fossilized plants from all over the world with great skill, assembling many isolated fragments into a meaningful whole.
This is how 300-million-year-old tree ferns and giant clubmosses are brought back to life in all their nuances, along with later conifers, cycads, and ginkgos, as well as the first flowering plants, which he revived with brush and paint. No one else has achieved this with the same precision as Michael Wachtler.
Below is a small selection of posters available for :purchase.
