Titian and the Dog's Gaze
National Gallery, London, Covent Garden
From £8
About
A talk at the National Gallery exploring dogs in art, built around Titian's painting 'The Death of Actaeon', in which the hunted Actaeon is torn apart by his own hounds. The speaker is Thomas W. Laqueur, historian and author of 'The Dog's Gaze: A Visual History'. He examines the dogs in the painting as witnesses and drivers of the scene, then broadens to how dogs across centuries of art guide the viewer's eye and stand in for us. The talk asks what viewing art through the eyes of dogs reveals about the human experience.
