One of the most famous paintings in the world, although not really among the BEST paintings in the world, is the one of dogs playing poker, as seen here. Recognize it? It’s been spoofed, mocked, and alluded to for many years.

But did you know that there are NINE original versions of dogs playing poker? All painted by Cassius Coolidge. The website I linked to here has all those originals plus other dog paintings.

If you want still more information, DogsPlayingPoker.com has tons of news, information, and biographical info on Coolidge.
