Tama the Japanese Dog by Pierre Auguste Renoirster
Tama the Japanese Dog by Pierre Auguste Renoirster
from $25.00
In 1873, French banker and art collector Henri Cernuschi went to Japan and brought back a Japanese spaniel named Tama (meaning “jewel”). He then commissioned his friend Pierre-Auguste Renoir to paint a portrait, and now we have this lush, playful image of a very sweet pup.
About the Poster Design
With an eye for spotting lesser-known gems — especially those featuring dogs! — Jessica Poundstone, artist and author of the book “Museum of Dogs: A Romp Through Art History for Dog People," reimagines classic artworks through a contemporary poster format. Her designs give pieces a fresh, modern presence while honoring their original spirit.
"There is an incredible amount of wonderful art archived away in museums. When I find and fall in love with one, I want to share it with everyone! These poster designs are my way of doing just that. I hope these pieces make their way to spaces where they can work their magic and be enjoyed every single day."
