Landscape with Figures and Animals is a 1763 landscape painting by the French artist Philip James de Loutherbourg.[1] It was the first painting the young Alsatian artist publicly exhibited. He submitted it to the Salon of 1763 at the Louvre in Paris where the art critic Denis Diderot's praise of it helped launch his career.[2] Today it is in the collection of the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool.[3] Loutherbourg subsequently emigrated to London where he became a pioneering painter of the emerging romantic movement.
