Books with author Peggy Roalf

Leads readers on a gallery tour of nineteen paintings of children. From the work of an unknown Egyptian artist to Peter Paul Rubens, John Singer Sargent, William H. Johnson, and others, each artist s vision and interpretation of children is unique. Some artists, such as Hans Holbein the Younger in Edward VI as a Child and Diego Rodriguez de Silva Velazquez in his painting titled Portrait of the Infanta Margarita, immortalize the offspring of powerful kings and queens. Others, such as Frank W. Benson in Calm Morning and Mary Cassatt in Children Playing on the Beach, capture the pleasures of children at play. Will inspire young readers to observe their world and to use their imagination to see like a painter. Full-color paintings. Ages 8-12.
