Dogs in Art

Art Critic Estelle Lovatt joins Anna to explore the role of dogs in Art through the centuries. It’s a fast pace tour that reveals the dynamic character of dogs from protector, dark force, to deity. We discuss the mystery of the Botticelli fresco on the Sistine Chapel, painted before Columbus discovered America, yet it features a Chihuahua like dog, questioning the origins of the breed. Revealing our relationship with dogs captured consistently over time through the eyes of the greats from Carpaccio, Van Eyck, Landseer, Stubbs, Reynolds, Warhol, Hockney, even Snoopy!
