Art Cat: Fine Felines of the Art World

From the time of the pharaohs to world-famous internet sensations, cats have inspired artists to strive to capture their lithe movements and cryptic personalities for as long as they’ve been our furry companions.

Cats have been charming us with their indifference for as long as we’ve been sketching on canvas. In the background, on the table, or right at the forefront, cats of the past peer out from paintings and sketches, frescoes and prints across art history. 

This joyous collection celebrates cats in art, spanning eras, styles and continents, from the brushes of masters such as Manet, Gauguin, Klee, Hokusai, Renoir and more.
