The Dog is a painting by Spanish artist Francisco Goya which is now in the Museo del Prado in Madrid. One of the Black Paintings which Goya painted directly onto the walls of his house sometime between 1819 and 1823, the work was transferred to canvas in 1874. Interpretations of the work vary greatly, such that art critic Robert Hughes said "We do not know what it means, but its pathos moves us on a level below narrative."Painting: Francisco Goya
Sources for hill[edit]
Do any sources say that, from our perspective, the dog is just peaking over a hill? That's how I've always interpreted it, and the pages/sources guesses of quicksand or other tragic symbols seem a stretch. Sometimes a dog is just a dog. Randy Kryn (talk) 13:26, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
