Here is a voyage through a selection of European masterpieces: from Giotto's Presentation of the Virgin to Botticelli's Mars and Venus, from Raphael's Madonna Sistina to Titian's Ranuccio Farnese, from Las meninas by Velasquez to Two Children at the Seashore by Cassatt and to Portrait of Paul Cezanne, son of the artist by Cezanne. All scenes depict children playing, laughing, hugging, crying, eating or sleeping, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. Children in Painting is a constant quest for truth and beauty, transporting the reader into a world of delight and enchantment. While admiring the Last Judgment by Fra Angelico in the St. Marco convent in Florence, two angels caught the author's attention and filled her with a sense of tranquility and happiness. The angels were in heaven and embraced each other with tenderness before commencing their final voyage towards eternal joy. These angels showed a love that can move mountains. And according to the author, this enormous sense of serenity where wishes and dreams are permitted can be only expressed and found in children from birth through to the age of ten. Children in Painting contains paintings of children just within this age range. This book is addressed to parents, grandparents, parents to be, art lovers and of course children.
