Famous art containing Spaniels

I recently saw a beautiful old painting and there in the corner of the painting, sat a tiny little Spaniel, so I thought it would be interesting to find some more paintings containing Spaniels and my goodness, there are so many!

Hecor,Nero,Dash and Parrot Lory - Edwin Landseer, 1838

This painting was one of the many paintings of the royal pets commissioned by Queen Victoria. The Spaniel on the little pedestal (which, I think implies that he's the favorite) is her beloved Norfolk Spaniel Dash, whom there are plenty of other paintings of! Some more info on the Norfolk Spaniel here.

Young King Charles II of England with his Spaniel - Anthony van Dyck, 17th century

The dog breed in this painting with King Charles II is non other than the King Charles Spaniel. I also find it quite funny that this painting is not called, 'King Charles II with Ladies So-and-So',but 'Young King Charles II with his Spaniel'.

Unkown

I can't seem to find who did this painting, but according to the website I found it on, the tiny dog in this picture is a Phalene of Pappillion - they were also called Squirrel Spaniels-probably due to their curled tails!

Rosie the River - poster by Norman Rockwell

I love this poster by Rockwell and note the cute little dog running along! Has to be a Spaniel!















These are but a few of the many painting and other art works containing Spaniels!
