The Berlin museum Kupferstichkabinett prepared a special exhibition for the summer focusing on man's best friend. "Gone to the Dogs!" shows works spanning over 10 centuries.

In some works, the dog was used to create an unexpected disruption: Rembrandt even painted a dog defecating right in the middle of a biblical scene. A few drawings hang right at the dogs' eye level at the exhibition.

From beast of burden to faithful companion, the dog has been around since Adam and Eve - at least according to artistic representations. The exhibition shows around 100 works: drawings, prints, oil sketches, and watercolors by artists such as Agostino Carracci, Albrecht Dürer, Rembrandt, Adolph Menzel, Otto Dix, and Dieter Roth.

The most expensive art work in the world is a representation of a dog: Jeff Koons orange "Balloon Dog" sold for $58.4 million. But for a true dog lover, a picture of their own pet is priceless.

The exhibition makes the dogs feel like stars, just like the famous Palm Dog Award winner Uggie from the film "The Artist" or Youtube superstar Tucker, the piano-playing dog. Discover more about them and other art-inspiring companions in the Euromaxx video below.
