Black Cat on a Chair

What we present to you, on this (hopefully) beautiful Saturday is simply ... a cat. If you ever had the honor to spend a while in the same room as any cat, you would understand how perfect this painting is. No cat would ever pose for a painting. Yet on a sunny day a century and a half ago, somewhere near Philadelphia, Andrew L. von Wittkamp attempted to catch a cat in Black Cat on a Chair. Executed in oils on a canvas, it is one of possibly two paintings known to be by him. He was a physician and critics consider him an amateur “of considerable talent.” Nothing else is known about this bold, self-taught artist but to be honest—for me, this painting is a true masterpiece.

Well, we won't lie ... we LOVE cats. Actually, we love all animals in art! This is why we created a set of 50 beautiful postcards with animals created by amazing artists. Just check them yourself and see how gorgeous these masterpieces are.

P.S. You are definitely an art lover, but if you happen to also adore cats (like we do) you will definitely love to see photos of famous artists with their little purr-friends. <3
