Dalmatian art has evolved considerably throughout the years. These majestic canines have an unique look combined with a sporty and intelligent nature that have made them a favorite subject among artists who create canvas dog art. Dalmatian dog prints are some of the most stylistically diverse examples of dog art that are available to art audiences today.
Historically, dalmatians have had several different vocations. These canines were originally used as coaching dogs and several dog paintings depict them in this role. However, they have also been used as shepherds, sentinels, war dogs, and were also widely used in hunting. Although they have since gained recognition as pets in large canine artwork, artists still depict these canines as energetic working animals in their dalmatian art where they assist firefighters. Dog paintings like 'Little Firemans Helper' or 'Hometown Hero' by Ron Burns are popular examples of artwork featuring working Dalmatians.
