From regal portraits to tiny tail-waggers tucked into the corners of epic canvases, Hermitage Dogs celebrates art’s most faithful companions. This charming collection brings together dozens of canine cameos and full-on portraits from the museum’s holdings, revealing how humanity’s best friend has sat, stood, and snoozed beside us through centuries of art history. A perfect treat for dog lovers, art enthusiasts, and anyone who enjoys finding hidden joy in timeless masterpieces.
