This volume examines the enduring fascination with the canine form across five centuries of Western art. Through a curated selection of paintings, sculptures, and works on paper, the authors trace the dog's evolving role from a symbol of fidelity and status in Renaissance portraiture to a central subject of contemporary artistic exploration. The text provides a comprehensive look at how these animals have been depicted as companions, hunters, and cultural icons throughout history.
