Hans Aschenborn

Hans Anton Aschenborn (1 February 1888 – 10 April 1931) was a renowned animal painter of African wildlife.

[7] In 1970 another one followed by the Pretoria Art Museum (South Africa) and a doctoral dissertation[8] concerning his work was done.

In 1916 he wrote the lyrics of the song, "Heia Safari", which also remains popular.

[1][6][13] While working on his book about gemsbok (which was also translated into English)[14] and closely observing them, Aschenborn discovered a variety that has been named after him, Genus Aschenborni.

The art work of all three Aschenborns may be found in the galleries, museums, and public buildings of Namibia.
