Cave Canem
The depiction of the dog in art history has often reflected a close symbolic and idealised relationship between the animal and his owner, very often shown together. This is what we are told by the Renaissance portraits, which blend the centrality of the figure of man with his curiosity for nature.
Indeed, the exhibition brings together the works of thirty-eight artists, from the private collection of Lucchi Boccanera and of a number of collectors, as well as a number of galleries or artists called upon to provide a work depicting their own beloved pet as an extension of themselves, ready to dialogue with other representations as well as with the surprise of visitors, welcomed to this very special "International Dog Show".
