Learning from their conventions, he soon adopted elements like the classical architecture and imposing dog seen here. Little is known of Don Andrés de Andrade y la Cal, whose name and coat of arms are “carved” in trompe l’oeil on the pilaster. The dog appears to be an Alano Español, a ferocious Spanish breed with double-edged associations: they embody noble power in works such as Cervantes’s “The Dialogue of the Dogs” (1613), but their use in war against Indigenous populations in the Americas has been part of European visual culture since Theodore de Bry illustrated Bartolomé de la Casas’s \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eBrief Account of the Spanish Destruction of the Indies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (1598).\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/437173\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York - Don Andrés de Andrade y la Cal\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bartolomé Estebán Murillo","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49887151751411,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (79\" x 47\")","offer_id":49887151784179,"sku":null,"price":5384.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (23 1\/4\" x 13 7\/8\")","offer_id":49887151816947,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (28 3\/8\" x 16 7\/8\")","offer_id":49887151849715,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (34 3\/4\" x 20 3\/4\")","offer_id":49887151882483,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (44 7\/8\" x 26 3\/4\")","offer_id":49887151915251,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (53 7\/8\" x 32 1\/8\")","offer_id":49887151948019,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (63 1\/2\" x 37 7\/8\")","offer_id":49887151980787,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (76 1\/4\" x 45 1\/2\")","offer_id":49887152013555,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/DonAndresdeAndradeylaCal.jpg?v=1784240534","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/don-andres-de-andrade-y-la-cal","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
