May 18, 2020: From the Universal Museum of Art, this is a very cool virtual exhibit showing paintings with cats. It looks at the representation of felines in art history, through 75 works from ancient Egypt to the present day.
Spread across four rooms of a fictional, computer-generated Parisian mansion, the exhibition takes in everything from the hard-to-spot feline enigma in Manet’s ‘Olympia’ to the beautifully poised creatures depicted by Renoir, Delacroix and Courbet. The only blip on the species’ angelic image is the drunk kitty rolling around in Veronese’s ‘The Wedding at Cana’.
This is definitely worth check out! Click here to visit the Universal Museum of Art’s virtual exhibit.
