Dog Portraits comes to life from Pergolesi Cave Canem's photographic cycle and addresses the transformation of the relationship between man's best friend and his owner. From Pompei to the present day, the relationship between man and "canis lupus familiaris" has radically changed. The dog, which has always been a useful and indispensable companion also for hunting activities, has over time affirmed its emotional presence in the family environment, often moving from the kennel in the courtyard to the comfortable sofa next to the fireplace.

The technique for all of the works on display is Fine Art pigment print on Baryte paper mounted on d\bond with anti-reflective glass.
Each shot is printed in an edition of 10 copies, in two sizes, large and small, with 2 artist proofs.
