This detail from Francesco del Cossa's fresco cycle "April," painted in 1470 for the Palazzo Schifanoia, depicts a white dog resting in the foreground. The dog is likely a symbol of fidelity, which was a common theme in Renaissance art. The realistic detail and the dog's calm demeanor contribute to the overall sense of peace and order within the fresco cycle, reflecting the ideals of the period.
