Overview

Hundreds of stunning artworks, from the earliest African rock paintings to the work of renowned artists such as Monet, Picasso, Rembrandt, Titian, and Warhol, offer a thorough history of the dog’s status in, and influence on, human society. Accompanying the remarkable images of many different breeds is a vividly written text that explores the various roles that the dog has played throughout the millennia, including its depiction as a symbol of fidelity and romantic love, as a prized possession, as a treasured and loyal pet, as a mythological being, and as a hunting and working companion. Cientos de obras de arte sensacionales, desde las primitivas pinturas rupestres africanas hasta las obras de famosos artistas como Monet, Picasso, Rembrandt, Tiziano y Warhol, ofrecen una historia completa del estatus del perro en, y su influencia sobre, la sociedad humana. Un texto vividamente escrito acompaña imágenes de muchas razas y explora los diversos papeles que ha desempeñado el perro a través de los milenios, incluyendo su representación como un símbolo de la fidelidad y el amor romántico, como una posesión premiada, como una mascota preciada y leal, como un ser mitológico y como un compañero de cacería y trabajo.
