Renaissance Dogs

If every dog has its day, then the Renaissance period was it. It was the time when Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, Donatello ruled the art world and Shakespeare invented the English language. It was also the time when Christopher Columbus 'discovered' the Americas and Johannes Gutenberg printed the first ever book. It was the time, well, you get the picture. It was also the time of dogs. They were everywhere. But especially in pictures and paintings. And always by our side. Highly valued as status symbols, loyal companions, protectors and hunters. Stuffed with more than 100 high-resolution dog-based artworks, produced between 1400-1650, and sourced from museums and art collections all around the world, 'Renaissance Dogs' is the very first dog-alogue of its kind.
