Virtual Student Guide Tour: Cat Tales, with Paul Tamburro

Paul Tamburro will talk about a bronze sculpture of a cat from ancient Egypt (mid-7th to late 1st century BCE) on his tour.

In this tour, Paul Tamburro will look at works of art featuring cats in various roles.

In this tour, Paul Tamburro ’22 will explore the roles that a few works of art have given to cats—from objects of devotion to personal companions and alter egos. Featured works will include a leaded bronze sculpture of a cat made in ancient Egypt (mid-7th to late 1st century BCE), the hanging scroll depicting a tiger that Katayama Yōkoku painted in Edo period Japan (c. 1780–1801), and Self-Portrait with Cat, which German artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner painted in 1920.
