Behind the achievements of every great innovator is their dog: sometimes enthusiastically looking on, at other times asleep. Or chewing a bone. Or sniffing another dog’s bum...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRenaissance Dogs\u003c\/i\u003e celebrates not just the delightfully odd-looking doggy depictions of the era but also our insistence on ensuring our furry friends’ place in history alongside our own.
