Gentlemen prefer cats
Did you ever meet crazy cat guys? Renaissance genius Andrea Mantegna met a company of them and depicted it in his famous painting “Parnassus”
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:
