At this time the industrial revolution in Germany took up strongly at speed and Wilhelm Kuhnert should complete a commercial apprenticeship after the will of the father first. Driven by completely different interests, Kuhnert broke off the apprenticeship and went already at the age of 16 years to Berlin, where he held himself so to speak as a hunger artist over water. With casual work such as portraits and commercial art he managed to just about make it.
With great talent, but without any artistic training, he took part in a competition of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin and was one of the winners, which enabled him to study there. After Kuhnert dedicated himself to painting animals in the Berlin Zoo, where he also wrote his first publications, he was 26 years old when he was again seized by a thirst for adventure and his studies in the zoo were no longer enough. An expedition over Egypt and East Africa enabled the adventurous animal painter and zoologist to draw and paint the animal world there in the wild. It is therefore not surprising that he is known today as the "Lion-Kuhnert". Shortly afterwards Kuhnert's second big expedition took place, which on the one hand again led to East Africa, but also via India to Ceylon. And some years later he accompanied King Friedrich August of Saxony on his hunting trip to Sudan. Wilhelm Kuhnert had his last studio in the Kurfürstenstraße 120 in the west of Berlin. Before that Richard Friese (1854-1918) had worked there. Among Frieze's preferred motifs were the big game of northern Europe and the animal world in the northern Arctic Ocean. Together Kuhnert and Friese were the founders and most dazzling representatives of realistic animal painting in Germany.

Kuhnert had to look for new fields of work after the Second World War due to the new political framework, because Deutsch-Ostafrika no longer offered him the opportunity to travel. The love for animal painting remained however. On a Sweden journey he dedicated himself with passion to some moose studies. While his studio produced a large number of oil paintings, orders for illustrations for popular scientific and zoological works declined.
Wilhelm Kuhnert participated up to his death around 1926 in the big Berlin art exhibition as well as in many exhibitions in different cities.
