Thanks to our resident scholar, etabeta, I understand (or
think I understand) the use of dogs in the pictures - symbolize ‘loyalty’.
How interesting is that symbolism in this group, then. (also then, do cats represent ‘mystery’, ‘suspicion’, no loyalty?)
We have ‘loyalty’ sniffing suspiciously at Judas in Tiepolo at #10 (loyalty under suspicion),
also in #20, Rosselli paints a “ratty” dog facing off with a cat…
#25, Carracci actually has the dog fighting with the cat!
#27, Bassano dog facing cat…
Though not well visualized in #7, in the Ghirlandaio, maybe the cat! will show up better here:
I also like the way the artists, Boulogne in #9, and Crespi, in #13, show Judas clinging to the purse, trying to hide it behind his back!
Tintoretto at #5 illustrates – rather dramatically! – how the ‘unseen world’ still contends with we ‘mere’ mortals. Well done!

(also then, do cats represent ‘mystery’, ‘suspicion’, no loyalty?) Works for me.

It’s really funny how when you see a different artist’s version of the scene you are actually surprised…as if only Da Vinci ever painted it! And then when you do realize that, the mind downgrades the others and you think, oh, that’s still not The Da Vinci…Pavlov would nod knowingly at that reaction. There ARE many fine versions (but still Da Vinci stands out).

Thirty-one more tomorrow—but the world has had half a millennium to settle on ol’ Leo’s.

In the Bible, the peacock symbolizes resurrection, everlasting life.
As for cats, Dan, you don’t know what fun and joy they are, just like children, they come with different personalities. I had one, a Russian Blu, who would run roaring like a lion through the house ending in a mighty leap on top of an armoire. My siamese kitty once, seeing me in tears, snuggled close to me and touched my cheek with her paw. They respond to how one raises them and treats them.

the Carl Bloch work is in a class of its own At the end of this series, I'll post the best works by several artists, including Bloch. So far I have twenty-three of his, but I expect to find more.
