If every dog has its day, then the Renaissance period was it. It was the time when Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Donatello ruled the art world, and Shakespeare shaped the English language. It was also when Christopher Columbus 'discovered' the Americas and Johannes Gutenberg printed the first ever book. This era was filled with cultural advancements and, notably, dogs.

Dogs were everywhere during the Renaissance, especially in pictures and paintings, highly valued as status symbols, loyal companions, protectors, and hunters.

Loaded with more than 100 high-resolution dog-themed artworks created between 1400-1650 and sourced from museums and art collections worldwide, Renaissance Dogs is the very first dog-alogue of its kind. It's a humorous celebration of man's best friend as seen through their eyes, offering valuable insights into the world of dogs during the Golden Age and how they were depicted in timeless masterpieces.
