Greek God Pet Portrait

About the Greek God Style

Greek God treats your pet like a deity who has just stepped out of a thundercloud. Your pet's own face sits above a draped white toga fastened with a gold clasp, crowned with a golden laurel wreath, in a neoclassical oil-painting look. Behind them stand white marble columns and billowing storm clouds split by sunbeams, all lit in glowing gold with deep, theatrical shadows.

The joke only works because the painting takes itself completely seriously, and a small gold nameplate carrying your pet's name makes it official. It suits the dog who rules the couch and the cat who expects tribute at dinnertime, and it is an easy gift for anyone whose pet has a personality bigger than the house.

Best for

• Big-personality pets who act as if they own the house
• Funny-but-grand gifts for pet parents who love a joke with production value
• Dogs and cats with strong heads and proud profiles, like shepherds, boxers and Maine Coons
• Fans of mythology, classical art and gloriously over-the-top portraits

Lovely in these spaces

• Dens, offices and game rooms
• Dining rooms and hallway walls that need a conversation starter
• Living rooms with a gallery wall of mixed frames

Think twice if

If your walls are quiet and understated, or the portrait is meant as a tender keepsake, a gentler style such as Classic Oil or Pencil Sketch will fit the mood better than a toga and thunderclouds.
