Dogs

Author(s): Élisabeth  Foucart-Walter, François  Nourissier

€ 14.90 tax included

Throughout the ages, artists have frequently depicted dogs as symbols of positive values such as courage, loyalty and vigilance. Whether serving as guards, companions or hunters, dogs have a very strong presence in the great artworks at the Louvre. They appear in the form of Mesopotamian statuettes of the third millennium BC, flank peasants in paintings by the Le Nain brothers, or sit at the queen’s side in Rubens’s The Coronation.
