Latin Spirit (Italian Spinone) LE200

 Nigel Hemming Limited Edition  print of 200 copies numbered and signed by the artist. 

Latin Spirit illustrates the Brown and Orange Roan forms of this wonderful breed. Nigel first came across the Italian Spinone in the early nineteen-nineties when a neighbour and friend acquired a Brown Roan. He was, from the start, struck by what he could only term the breed's nobility. They have an almost regal quality and Nigel has tried to capture something of that in this portrait.

Although it is believed that the origins of the modern dog are the Piedmont and Alba regions of Italy, Nigel hasd chosen, as a setting, scenery that is typical of Tuscany and Umbria. Olive trees, steep wooded valleys and hill-top towns and villages.
