Art History in 21 Dogs

A tail-wagging journey through art

What if the Mona Lisa were a greyhound? Or Van Gogh had painted his dog instead of himself? Art History in 21 Dogs brings this imaginative idea to life, offering a fresh and amusing look at the masterpieces of world art.

Across 32 sturdy cardboard pages (14.5 × 12 cm), this book showcases 21 timeless artworks reinvented with stylish dogs, while staying faithful to their historical context.

Masterpieces… with paws

Each double-page spread presents a well-known painting or sculpture reinterpreted with dogs:

• A noble canine version of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.

• A whining dog inspired by Munch’s The Scream.

• A furry muse in the style of Van Gogh, Vermeer, Klimt, Frida Kahlo and more.

Though humorous, the illustrations preserve composition, light, brushstrokes and symbolism, allowing readers to easily recognise each original artwork.

It’s both educational and entertaining — perfect for homes, schools, libraries and museums.
