Dogs in pose

The exhibition is focused on the constant presence of dogs in the tradition of western figurative art, often as a secondary motif in great historical painting, but also as a genre in its own right, cultivated by "animalist" painters or artists from various sectors, who have produced autonomous works as well as portraits.  After the human figure, the dog, "man's best friend", is the most widely represented animal in art, bearing witness to a deep-set bond and an elective affinity that exceeds the boundaries of formal decoration.
