Cats

Author(s): Élisabeth  Foucart-Walter, Frédéric  Vitoux

€ 14.90 tax included

Cats have never been short of admirers. The department of Egyptian antiquities at the Louvre abounds in representations of the cat-goddess Bastet. Likewise, the cat has a much-felt presence in the museum’s collection of paintings, sitting with aristocratic ladies in intimate domestic scenes such as those depicted by Boilly or Fragonard, or showing their mischievous nature, such as the cat on the table in Chardin’s La Raie (The Skate).
