A collection of artistic depictions showcasing the connection between humans and animals in various enclosures. From a young girl's gentle interaction with sheep by a cottage, to a woman's solitude with Signora a San Siro, these paintings transport us to a time when the bond between man and beast was deeply rooted. Tending to cows in the field, observing the majesty of a stallion and mare, and even the excitement of a racehorse in its paddock, these works of art capture the essence of animal care and companionship. But the bond isn't just limited to domesticated animals; the US Navy Marine Mammal Program in San Diego demonstrates the unique relationship between humans and marine life, reminding us of the vast and diverse world of animal enclosures.
