Zdenek Michael Frantisek Burian - 11 February 1905 in Koprivnice, Moravia, Austria-Hungary 1 July 1981 in Prague, Czechoslovakia - was a Czech painter, book illustrator and palaeoartist whose work played a central role in the development of palaeontological reconstruction. Originally recognised only in his native Czechoslovakia, Burian`s fame later spread to an international audience during a remarkable career spanning six decades - 1930s to 1980s. He is regarded by many as one of the most influential palaeoartists of the modern era, and a number of subsequent artists have attempted to emulate his style. Zdenek Burian`s unique vision of prehistoric life has been the source of inspiration for generations of palaeontologists and artists specialised in fossil reconstruction.
