"The March of Selenus" is a notable painting by the 19th-century American artist William Holbrook Beard, who is renowned for his anthropomorphic depictions of animals. Created in 1878, this work exemplifies Beard's unique ability to infuse his animal subjects with human characteristics and social commentary. The painting portrays a procession of bears, whimsically dressed and engaged in various human activities, marching through a forested landscape. This imaginative scene is both humorous and thought-provoking, reflecting Beard's keen interest in satire and his critique of human follies.

Beard's meticulous attention to detail and his skillful use of color and composition are evident in "The March of Selenus." The bears are rendered with lifelike precision, yet their human-like postures and expressions create a surreal and engaging tableau. The lush, verdant background further enhances the fantastical atmosphere of the painting, drawing viewers into Beard's whimsical world.

"The March of Selenus" is part of a broader body of work in which Beard used animals to comment on contemporary society. His paintings often explore themes of vanity, greed, and other human vices, using the guise of animal behavior to deliver his critique. This approach not only entertained his audience but also invited them to reflect on their own actions and societal norms.

Today, "The March of Selenus" is celebrated as a prime example of Beard's artistic legacy. It continues to be admired for its technical excellence, imaginative subject matter, and the insightful commentary it offers on the human condition. The painting is held in high regard by art historians and remains a significant piece in the study of American art from the 19th century.
