Renaissance Dogs by Thierry Poncelet

Thierry Poncelet paints dogs and cats in classic human poses. Poncelet’s paintings are beautiful homages to 18th and 19th century aristocratic potraits. Simple and comical on the surface, the paintings are actually detailed masterpieces. No dogs playing poker here.

Poncelet’s site has a gallery of his dog and cat portraits along with some background on the Belgian now painting in Monaco. More images of Poncelet’s work can be found at The Pampered Pet Inn.

Prints and posters of Thierry Poncelet’s original paintings can be found online at art.com.

The best place to find Thierry Poncelet’s paintings is in the book Sit! Ancestral Dog Portraits from Amazon.com.

This kinda reminds me of Pets in Uniform, but they are simple photoshops and much creepier.
