Animals

About

“Animals are such agreeable friends—they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms.” —George Eliot

Whether pets, mythological beasts, or wild creatures, animals have always been a major subject of art and literature. Dating back to Paleolithic cave paintings in France and ancient Egyptian reliefs and artifacts, animals have been depicted by artists as friends, allegories, muses, and reflections on human nature.
