Throughout history, animals in art have functioned as both religious symbols and secular allegory. In the seventeenth century, Dutch artists' preference for naturalism and Dutch society's scientific and economic interest in animal breeding, led to a re-evaluation of man's relationship to the natural world. As a result, Dutch artists used keen observation and sensitivity to render the animal kingdom with a new dignity and charm. Examples by Jan Saenredam, Hendrick Goltzius, and Paulus Potter, among others, provide a lively overview of this theme.
