This portrait is one of his few paintings that include a landscape. The mountainous scenery recalls a southern European landscape. The treetops behind and virtually parallel to the dog's head and neck seem almost like a crown around the animal's head. <P> <TABLE ALIGN=LEFT CELLPADDING=5 BORDER=1 WIDTH=320 BGCOLOR="\#99CCCC"> <TR VALIGN=MIDDLE><TD><IMG SRC="/support/gif/listen.gif" BORDER=0 VALIGN=MIDDLE> Suggested listening \(streaming mp3, 9 minutes\):<BR><A HREF="\#" onClick="w=window.open \('/music1/18\_cent/vivaldi\_rv362\_hunt.html', 'newWin', 'scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350'\);w.opener=this;w.focus\(\);return true"><B>Antonio Vivaldi: Concerto in B flat major RV 362 op. 8 No. 10 \(Hunt\)</B></A> </TD></TR></TABLE> ## Related artworks - [Allegory of the Birth of Frederik Hendrik]() - [Amor Holding a Glass Orb]() - [Bacchus with Nymphs and Cupid]() - [Count Willem II of Holland Granting Privileges]() - [Diogenes Seeks a True Man]() - [Four Muses and Pegasus on Parnassus]() - [Holy Family]() - [Jupiter and Callisto]() - [Lycurgus Demonstrates the Benefits of Education]() - [Nymphs Offering the Young Bacchus Wine, Fruit and Flowers]() - [Officers and Standard-Bearers of the Old Civic Guard]() - [Portrait of a Two-Year-Old Boy]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
