This document discusses the history and use of animals in art and literature. It describes how early humans depicted animals in cave paintings and sculptures, often using them to represent gods or as symbols. Animals were commonly featured in ancient Egyptian and Assyrian art, and became a prominent focus of Greek art. During the Renaissance, animals were often painted or sculpted for their own aesthetic appeal rather than symbolic purposes. Later, animals were frequently used as moral allegories or to provide social commentary in fables and stories. Their depictions aimed to elicit empathy, sympathy, and interest from audiences.
