Landseer, Edwin (1802-1873) - Attachment 1829

"No painting without a dog" - seems to have been the motto of the English painter Edwin Landseer. Just 27 years old, he painted this painting, which illustrates a poem by the Scotsman Sir Walter Scott. In it, a dog guards the body of its owner for three months after he has fallen off a cliff. All the time that the body was not discovered, the dog stayed with the dead man and drove away the crows and foxes that approached him.
