"The Cat in Art" by Stefano Zuffi

"The Cat in Art" by art historian Stefano Zuffi looks like a captivating book for art buffs and cat lovers. This coffee table book features over 250 artists' portrayals of the cat throughout history in art and literature from antiquity to contemporary times. As in life, sometimes the cat steals the show and sometimes retreats into the background.

...a unique feline portrait gallery replete with Roman mosaics, French illuminated manuscripts, Dutch interiors, Renaissance paintings, Japanese prints, imaginative works by Picasso and Klee, and sensual paintings by Gauguin.

"The Cat in Art" features works by Van Eyck, Raphael, Leonardo, Bruegel, Rembrandt, Chardin, Gainsborough, Manet, Renoir, Bonnard, Gauguin, Matisse, Balthus, Picasso, Warhol, and many others. Great gift idea for the cat (and art) lover!
