Bernhardiner in Landschaft
View through Europeana Collections
This dog breed became known via the hospice on the Great St. Bernhard Pass in the Swiss Alps, which used this breed as avalanche rescue dogs. Did Deiker, who specialised in animal motifs, want to create a monument to the Swiss dog? Or is the portrait dedicated to a specific, hitherto anonymous dog?
