The first ever reconstruction of the skeleton of a dinosaur (Fig. The first scientific attempts to recreate the closest extinct relatives of birds on the basis of their fossils date to the nineteenth century. This article provides a brief historical account of dinosaur palaeoart, explaining how this work has changed as our understanding of the anatomy and biology of dinosaurs has improved. Palaeoart is closely linked to the science of palaeontology, resulting from the desire to reconstruct what extinct organisms looked like when they were alive, and is increasingly informed by the latest scientific discoveries.
As a result, dinosaurs have also dominated palaeoart - artistic representations of past life.
Non-avian dinosaurs are iconic animals that dominated life on land for 170 million years during the Mesozoic era, and have captured the imagination of scientists and non-scientists alike for as long as we have known about them.
