Vantage Point bald eagle by wildlife artist Robert Bateman

Vantage Point by Robert Bateman

"In this painting I wanted to emphasize the thrust into the wind of the bird, the uprooted tree, and the rocky spit. These elements project into space toward an endless horizon. In contrast is the rich tangle of mosses and other plants which have colonized the stump. I was almost suggesting a Japanese bonsai garden with a little hemlock tree dwarfed by the elements." - R. Bateman

’s national symbol is living proof. Once considered endangered due to the use of pesticides and pressures from human encroachment, the bald eagle survived and is now thriving in many North American coastal areas. Vantage Point depicts the king of the sky and his spectacular plumage, perched high above the water. A special museum edition will benefit Royal Roads University Foundation in support of The Bateman Art and Environmental Education Centre in Victoria, B.C. It will be the primary home and largest permanent exhibit of the legacy of Robert Bateman.
