Fierce friends : artists and animals, 1750–1900

by Louise Lippincott, Andreas Bluhm

This study examines the evolving relationship between humans and animals from 1750 to 1900, showing how scientific advances and evolutionary theory influenced art. It analyses how artists reflected a new understanding of animals as sentient beings.
