Cats In Art (inbunden, eng)

And that ''having a cat''s nose'' was a serious physical defect at the time? The cat traverses the history of civilizations and the history of art.

Its symbolism fluctuates: revered in ancient Egypt, assimilated to Satan in medieval religious painting, companion to the free and independent artist in the 19th century. Throughout the pages, explore the works of Lorenzo Lotto, Leonardo da Vinci, Francisco de Goya, Auguste Renoir, Pierre Bonnard, Fernand L©ger, Balthus, Andy Warhol, and more.
