50 Times Photos Of Pets Perfectly Embodied Renaissance Art

For most pet owners, their fur babies are considered works of art in and of themselves. The way their little wet noses shine in photos and how they elegantly fold their paws over one another… Pure masterpieces. Sometimes, however, pet parents capture their little ones at just the right moment, creating portraits that belong in an art museum.

In celebration of all of these gorgeous pictures of pets, the Pet Renaissance subreddit was born. We’ve gathered some of the best Renaissance pics of pets down below that Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo would be proud of, as well as an interview with the subreddit’s creator, so we hope you enjoy your scroll through our art gallery today.

Be sure to upvote the pictures you’d like to see hanging in the Vatican Museums, and then let us know in the comments if you have ever seen your pets posing like models of the Renaissance. Then if you’re looking for even more high art after finishing this list, might I suggest you check out another Bored Panda article featuring similar photos right here.
