This study presents a general investigation into the theoretical framework and the procedural and methodological development underlying my work in painting. The main theme consists of a general survey of the concept of anthropomorphism, particularising its manifestation in dog painting, and how this term applies to my work. The first chapter gives a general idea of the term Anthropomorphism, from its origins to its scope in the fields of Art, Religion and Science, followed by a particularisation of this phenomenon in dog painting in the West, from the 15th century to the present day. The second chapter of this work consists of a reflection on the choice of the dog as a theme, how the concept of anthropomorphism manifests itself in the practical work of painting, and the procedural and methodological development underlying the practical work.
