This book examines the works of major artists between the
seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, as important barometers of
individual and collective values toward non-human life. Once viewed
as merely representational, these works can also be read as
tangential or morally instrumental by way of formal analysis and
critical theories. Chapter Two demonstrates the discrimination
toward large and small felines in Genesis and The Book of
Revelation. Chapter Three explores the cruel capture of free
roaming animals and how artists depicted their furs, feathers and
shells in costume as symbols of virtue and vice. Chapter Four
identifies speciest beliefs between donkeys and horses. Chapter
Five explores the altered Dutch kitchen spaces and disguised food
animals in various culinary constructs in still life painting.
Chapter Six explores the animal substances embedded in pigments.
Chapter Seven examines animals in absentia-in the crafting of
brushes. The book concludes with the fish paintings of William
Merritt Chase whose glazing techniques demonstrate an artistic
approach that honors fishes as sentient beings.
