| Summary | "Child-life in Art" by Estelle M. Hurll is an illustrated exploration of artistic representations of childhood, written in the late 19th century. This book examines how artists throughout history have captured the essence of child-life in various contexts, from idealized portrayals to representations of real children in different social settings. Hurll delves into how these artworks reflect the beauty, innocence, and emotional depth of children, making a case for the significant role they play in art and society. The narrative is structured into six chapters, each focusing on different aspects of child-life as depicted in art. The chapters cover ideal types of childhood, children of royalty, rustic children, street children, child-angels, and portrayals of the Christ-child. Hurll references notable artists, such as Sir Joshua Reynolds, Van Dyck, and Murillo, and highlights specific paintings that exemplify each theme. Through descriptive analysis and a blend of art history, the author brings attention to the emotional and social commentary hidden within these depictions, inviting readers to appreciate the intertwined nature of art and childhood across different cultures and eras.
