Pugs on Canvas

April 17, 2014 by AboutPug Leave a Comment

John Emms was an English painter between 1841 and 1912 who created this painting called Pugs. He actually has a few well-known paintings of pugs, and must have been quite the avid pug-lover. We’re thinking we may need to spice up our wall decor at home with more pug art!

Pug Portrait

This charming portrait of a pug was created by English artist William H. Hopkins in 1880. We don’t think there is any way that Nickie would stand still enough for a portrait, unless she was painted while sleeping.

Picture of Elegance

Margaret Collyer was well-known for her many paintings of canines throughout her career. We think she really captured the essence of a pug when she painted the cuddly and loyal companion in “True Friends Girl and Black Pug” in 1908.

Princess and Her Pug

March 27, 2014 by AboutPug Leave a Comment

This lovely portrait of a pug (and princess) was painted by Louis-Michel van Loo in 1759. The painting “Portrait of Princess Ekaterina Dmitrievna Golitsyna” captures the luxury and opulence of the Russian court. Pugs were very popular in Russia since the days of Peter the Great, and they had become a symbol of aristocracy.

Even Goya Painted Pugs

Francisco Goya painted “The Marquesa Mariana de Pontejos” in 1786 which features an adorable little pug trotting at her feet. We think the pug really makes the painting.

We love this painting called “Party Animal” by 20th century American artist Pamela Hall. That is a party that we would happily join.

A Painter of Pugs

English painter Charles Burton Barber (1845-1894) was renowned for his paintings of dogs. A number of his beautiful paintings feature pugs, including “Blonde and Brunette Pug”, “A Family of Pugs”, and “A Monster”. We think these pugs are simply beautiful!
