David Allen Dunlop (American, b.1951) is a painter whose works fuse old master and Renaissance techniques with contemporary science. Dunlop received a BA from the College of Wooster in Ohio, and later completed the MFA program at the Pratt Institute in New York.

Dunlop’s work has been reviewed extensively, with features in The New York Times and The Boston Globe. In 2000, New York City selected David to paint a fiberglass cow for the Cow Parade; it was one of the few selected to be auctioned. In addition, Dunlop has frequently been juried into the prestigious Art of the Northeast USA, where he and his son won the Revington Arthur Award in 2007, and the Jens Risom Award in 2004.

His paintings have been shown internationally and are held in the collections of major corporations including Aetna Insurance, Citibank, Delta Airlines, GE Capital Corporation, IBM, and Mobil.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art invited David to lecture on 4,000 years of landscape painting in 2005. He has been a visiting artist and lecturer at multiple institutions, including the Montclair Art Museum, Montclair, NJ; the New Britain Museum of American Art, New Britain, CT; the Caramoor Museum of Art, Katonah, NY; the Shelburne Museum, Shelburne, VT; and the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, Tucson, AZ.

In 2009, Dunlop wrote and hosted the 13-show national PBS television series, Landscapes Through Time with David Dunlop, which won an Emmy and a CINE Golden Eagle Award. The show re-aired in May 2013. Dunlop was also featured in a multi-DVD series on painting landscapes.

Since 1993, Dunlop has served on the faculty of the Silvermine School of Art in New Canaan, CT, where he teaches, lectures, gives workshops, and leads groups to Italy, France, and Japan.
