The “Aldrovandi Dog” is a life-size portrait of a brindle-coated dog painted by Guercino in 1625.
The dog’s elaborate leather collar bears the coat of arms of Count Filippo Aldrovandi of Bologna, who may have been the dog’s owner. The painting is believed to have been hung fairly high in a salon, where it would tower over the viewer. Guercino has silhouetted the dog against a rich blue sky, where precisely placed clouds emphasize the dog’s vivid presence and scale. A sweeping landscape behind the dog, believed to represent the Aldrovandi Castle, is more likely an invention of the artist.
