«The Cat in Art» is the art history book by Stefano Zuffi, published by Harry N. Abrams, Inc. in hardcover (359 pages, in English).
The book traces the representation of cats in painting, from antiquity to the present day, through 170 works with commentary. It shows the animal as a protagonist or as a detail in paintings by Van Eyck, Rembrandt, Matisse, Picasso or Warhol, and explains its symbolism: from ancient goddesses to the medieval demon and the current domestic companion.
Originally published as «I gatti nell'arte»; this English edition, translated by Simon Jones, was published in 2007.
For art and cat lovers seeking a visual tour of Western painting.
