About the Museum

Pigs have inspired art since the first human met the first pig. This museum will look at how artists have attempted to represent the various roles that the pig has fulfilled during its long association with man.

About the Index

Due to artists’ different nationalities and customs of writing their names, something that seems like a last name — “da Besozzo” or “van Orley” — may not be.

To avoid confusion here, artists are listed alphabetically by the last word in their title or name. So “da Besozzo” would be in the “B” section, “van Orley” in “O”.

Where it is applicable, individuals who are know only by a definitive work — “Master of Saint Veronica” — as well as those named but anonymous works — the “Luttrell Psalter” — are listed here with their familiar sobriquets.

This indexing system was adapted from the CGFA Virtual Art Museum of Carol Gerten–Jackson.
