Summary
“Fascinating, informative, compelling, memorable” —Midwest Book Review
Unravel the symbolic significance and creative influence of cats in art history through a curated collection of masterpieces, enhanced by timelines, maps, graphs, and quotes.
Did you know that, until the Middle Ages, people were wary of half-domestic, half-wild animals? That cats evoked laziness, cruelty, greed, and even lust? And that “having a cat’s nose” was a serious physical defect at the time?
