As dogs crossed the threshold and curled up on the hearthrug of our homes, so in art they leapt from the margins to the centre of paintings. Symbolic, statuesque or sentimental, the developing portrayal of “man’s best friend” in visual art is a fascinating tale. Beautiful reproductions range from the earliest African rock paintings to the work of contemporary artists, bringing delight to art-lovers and dog-lovers alike.
