Artists have not just depicted agriculture in their work — they have also contributed to agriculture itself. Painters and photographers have played an important role in livestock breeding over the past two centuries, helping to shape the industry in Europe and North America. Paintings once popularized animal breeding and influenced breed standards. Today, photography has become an essential tool in marketing prize animals around the world.
