Dogs…they’re a great way to sell products on TV, boost your likes on Instagram, or encourage you to see that latest rom-com, but they’re art appeal goes back further than you might thin.

If you’re after dogs in paintings, then you could do worse than visit the Renaissance section of any portrait gallery! That’s one of the useless things I learned from revisiting London museums and doing the Museum Musings.

The Wallace Collection – Furtunately for us Mr Wallace collected a lot of portraits with pups.

From 29 March until 15 October 2023 you can check out even more dogs at their Portraits of Dogs: From Gainsborough to Hockney exhibition.
