Dog Painting - The European Breeds gives an historical
overview of the extraordinary range of dog paintings created
in Europe during the nineteenth century. While English
artists dominated the field, many prominent European artists
produced a wide range of paintings depicting the dog. Over
ninety breeds are depicted in these paintings, from the lap
dogs and hunting dogs of the aristocracy to the common
shepherd's dogs who were prized for their keen working
abilities. The book concentrates on the types of dogs and
dog paintings which were characteristic of the countries of
Europe, and the different national attitudes towards dogs
and the organisation of canine societies. It also focuses on

Herding; Hounds; Toys and Non-Sporting; Terriers; and
Sporting Dogs. Dog Painting - The European Breeds also looks
at the art worlds of the different European countries and
the numerous artists who portray
