Thure Wallner was a Swedish naturalist painter and illustrator. He was born on 15 August 1888 in Salem, near Stockholm, studied at the Althins School of Painting in Stockholm and lived in Södertälje, a town south of the city. Wallner specialised in studies of native animals and birds in their natural habitat both in the Swedish countryside, often in the Mälaren landscape, and abroad (Lapland, Europe and America).
His meticulous draughtsmanship led him naturally to illustration work: he contributed to the Swedish hunting magazine Svensk Jakt, produced illustrations for children's books, and educational posters for schools. He died on 15 March 1965 in Södertälje.
His work is represented in the collection of Nationalmuseum (Stockholm).
