From ThroughAFaceFullOfFur:

[[AC:{{Film}}]]
* In the {{Disney}} short "Alpine Climbers," Pluto falls in the snow and comes out blue and frigid. A Saint Bernard pours his keg of brandy on Pluto's mouth, and a rainbow of colors spreads from Pluto's belly to his extremities as he warms up again.

A [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/39/Twodogswithmonk.jpg possible page pic]] (I assume it's the "early painting" mentioned in the OP). It would have to be cropped down to fit on the Wiki.

Several media examples from the TheOtherWiki's [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Bernard_(dog)#In_media article on Saint Bernards]]:

[[AC:{{Film}}]]
* ''Swiss Miss'' (1938). Stan Laurel coaxes a tot of brandy from a Saint Bernard.

[[AC:LiveActionTV]]
* ''Topper'' (1953-55). Neil, George and Marion Kerby's Saint Bernard.

[[AC:{{Magazines}}]]
* A 1949 ''Punch'' magazine cartoon. A man has a St. Bernard and several puppies, all of which wear neck casks. The man says "Of course, I only breed them for the brandy."
