Joseph Wolf (January 22, 1820 - April 20, 1899) was a German artist who specialized in natural history illustration.

He depicted animals accurately in life-like postures and has been considered one of the great pioneers of wildlife art. Sir Edwin Landseer considered him ...without exception, the best all-round animal artist who ever lived.
