Gentlemen prefer cats
Let’s speak about the connection of art and love at this Caturday evening:
The mount Parnassus was rather a popular location for Renaissance paintings.
Andrea Mantegna also decided to present his vision of the home of all art.
He went further in his understanding of the mysterious connection between cats and art, love and art, and cats as embodiments of love and art, and showed how men are actually inspired by felines:
