He had a great passion for animal painting throughout his life. His most popular subjects were birds, especially the pheasant, but also ducks, eagles, owls and native garden birds. He drew the animals with such a love of detail and colour fastness; his powers of observation must have been very distinctive.
Unfortunately, little is known about George James Rankin's childhood. He was born in 1864 and grew up in the country, surrounded by fields and meadows. Early on he had a great interest in birds. Apart from afternoons spent in nature, he discovered his love for painting. The 19th century was a long and varied century in art history. It ranged from the end of the baroque period to the beginnings of abstract art, which began at the time of the First World War, at the turn of the century. Young George thus grew up in a very fast-moving and multi-faceted art epoch. He experienced how in France the king was disempowered by the citizens and how technology and economy developed with increasing speed. The first steam engine rolled through England and large factories were built all over the country. It was the birth of the rapid transmission of news via telegraphy and telephone and from then on people used cameras to produce pictures. This rapid development was also evident in art. A wide variety of styles emerged. All with a different approach. At the end of the 19th century, many painters expressed their opinions on world politics through art, some in silent protest. Other painters wanted to hold on to the old, they shied away from rapid progress.
It seems as if the rapid developmental steps of the 19th and 20th centuries have passed George James Rankins without a trace. He remained true to his art style throughout his life and continued to draw birds as lifelike as possible. He did not change anything and did not try out a new art movement. Unfortunately, it is not known whether the painter spent his entire life in his home country or whether he went travelling. Also in his paintings no conclusions can be drawn from this, because he only painted native bird species. In 1937 the animal painter George James Rankins died at the age of 73 years in his home country England. This spared him the hardest years of the Second World War, which would certainly have clouded the idyll of nature in his paintings. Even today his beautiful bird paintings are a gift for posterity. Among his paintings are now the first species of animals that are almost extinct. Other birds such as the titmouse, goldfinch or blackbird are still widespread throughout Europe and have always been well known to people.
