Excerpt from The Child in ArtUR subject is the Child in Art. The word Art conjures up the figure of Greece, mother of arts; and yet here we meet with disappointment. We behold heroes, gods, and goddesses, but we look in vain for the child. We realise what Mr. Ruskin calls the singular defect in Greek art,'1 namely, the absence of child hood. This defect' is common, not only to Greek art, but to all the early art of the Eastern world.Such is the fact. Can it be that the explanation is, as has been suggested, that the art of an epoch is unconsciously the reflection of its religious beliefs?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

With the art of Correggio and Titian the climax, so far as it concerned the Italian school, was reached. After this the child was treated with less respect. The sugared daintiness of Carlo Dolci is as little to our taste as the vulgarity of some artists of the Roman and Neapolitan schools. What degradation the conception of childhood suffered is well expressed in a picture by Baroccio.1 The theme of this, which is a group of the Holy Family, is the tormenting of an unfortunate bird by a cat. This 'intellectual treat' seems to be greatly enjoyed by all the figures in the group, even the little Christ himself. Contrast with this idea that of Raphael's Madonna of the Goldfinch, which was painted barely a century earlier. Where is the reverence with which Raphael painted the child Jesus? The tenderness of the child's heart 1 'Our Lady of the Cat' National Gallery, No. 29. has hardened into deliberate cruelty. For whether it is the Christ child or any other child whom Baroccio thus shows as taking delight in the torture of a fellow-creature is not the point. If for the Holy Child we were to substitute the humblest peasant boy, would not the degradation of childhood be just the same? Yet let us not hastily award the prize to Raphael, to Correggio, or to Titian. The tournament is not over; 'tis but midday. There are others waiting to enter the lists; hardy Northerners from Germany and Holland, courtly Spaniards and Frenchmen, and from Britain too, men of renown. Let us, therefore, withhold our judgment. CHAPTER VI FROM the ...
