DOGS AND ART: 50 MASTERPIECES AND THEIR DOG BREEDS (HB)

A celebration of 50 great paintings, each depicting or featuring a different dog breed, such as the Arnolfini Marriage by Jan van Eyck, Hunters in the Snow by Bruegel the Elder, and The Luncheon of the Boating Party by Renoir. Each entry features an essay about the art and the artist, and a separate piece about the individual dog breeds and their roles, such as herding, hunting, guarding or as lap dogs - and how the fashions for different breeds have changed over time.
