    Hello,
    nice homepage. I wrote the first article in Wikipedia.de about Carl Bauerle (1831-1912).

    In the section “Links” you will find the wonderful pictures of

    Princess Louise and Princess Victoria of Wales

    which are in possesion of the british Queen.

    Maybe you could make a link to the Wikipedia article. I will work on an english version in the future.

    best regards,
    Andreas from Germany

    Hello! I came here randomly by searching for George Augustus Holmes, as my parents have had a print of “Young Friends” hanging ever since I can remember.
    What a great website, devoted to such an interesting topic in the art world!
    I think you might be interested in the works of Bessie Pease Gutmann, and Jessie Willcox Smith, as they both did many many paintings featuring children.

    Ti ringrazio vivamente per aver scelto i miei quadri da inserire nel tuo sito. Trovo che la tua sia una straordinaria iniziativa, anche perché, attraverso i bambini, si ripercorrono secoli e secoli di arte, proveniente da qualsiasi parte del mondo. E questo rende il tuo progetto incredibilmente completo e di grande interesse per molte categorie di persone.
    Ti informo che il divieto di riproduzione che siamo stati costretti ad applicare sul mio sito non è assolutamente per te, anzi, ti do il mio consenso ad inserire tutti i dipinti che riterrai opportuno. Sono stato costretto a mettere il divieto perché più volte vari pittori hanno copiato e falsificato le mie opere.
    Cordiali saluti e buon lavoro

      Grazie mille. Sono onorato che questo blog abbia l’attenzione diretta di un Maestro dell’arte contemporanea. Dedicando quotidianamente un po’ del mio tempo al blog ho cercato di creare una sorta di “archivio” dedicato alla rappresentazione dell’infanzia nella storia dell’arte. Lo faccio guidato unicamente dalla passione e dall’ammirazione per chi ha saputo e sa mettere tanta bellezza nelle proprie opere. Dove possibile, come nel Suo caso, aggiungo un link al sito ufficiale dell’artista, così da poter indirizzare chi fosse interessato ad approfondire la conoscenza dell’autore.
      Grazie ancora. Cordiali saluti.

    I have really enjoyed looking at the art on your site. I am writing down my favorite artists in my sketch book, so that I can refer to them again. You have many that I have never heard of, but whose works are exceptionally beautiful. Thank you for doing this. It is wonderful to have so much beautiful art in one place.

    “I AM A CHILD” is such an amazing collection – thank you! I’d love to exchange links with you. Being half Swedish (on my dad’s side), I’m so excited to see all your beautiful artwork by Karl Larsson. I’d like to suggest another Swedish artist that you might like: Jenny Nystrom.

    I was also happy to see you posted about Jessie Wilcox Smith, who I’ve blogged about (http://goodbooksforyoungsouls.blogspot.com/2010/11/jessie-wilcox-smith-magazines-and.html). I love her illustrations for A CHILD’S GARDEN OF VERSES, THE PRINCESS AND THE GOBLIN, and WATER BABIES.

    Here are some additional illustrators of children’s books that I’ve come across who paint children beautifully: Thomas Nast (his Christmas illustrations), Tasha Tudor (quaint and sweet), Gennady Spirin (my favorite Russian illustrator!), PJ Lynch (CHRISTMAS MIRACLE OF JONATHAN TOOMEY), and Trisha Romance (A STAR FOR CHRISTMAS http://www.romancecollection.com/niagara_originals.php). One more current artist (Italian) you might like to check out is Aris (http://blog-aris-blog.blogspot.com)

      Wendy, thank you very much!…First of all: I linked your blog, which is made with great passion. I know, there are many deserving artists that are still missing and many artists to be discovered…Jenny Nystrom is on my “waiting list” and I’ll keep into account the ones you mentioned…I’m glad you mentioned Sweden. I visited Sweden and I can tell that it’s one of best memories I have. Beautiful places to see, beautiful people. In my heart there will always be a place for sweden.

    Hey Marco,

    I found your site by accident today. Seeing all the images reminded me of a picture in my nan’s house. It is by a famous English artist from the beginning of the 20th century. I’m surprised you don’t have her on the site, since she is famous for her illustrations of children. Her name is Mabel Lucie Attwell:

      Richard, almost 1600 artists have been posted here but, I know, a lot of great painters are still missing. Mabel Lucie Attwell is one of them. I’ll try to remedy as soon as possible.
      Thanks for your attention

    Hello! Greetings from Finland! And thank you for a beautiful blog! About Skarbina’s Berlin christmas market: Have you taken the picture of the painting? If you have, ten: we would like to use it for an advertisment on our church’s christmas market, could we have your permission for that?

      According to the European Union copyright term expires 70 years from the death of the author. After that a painting is in the public domain.
      For this reason I think that Skarbina’s painting is in the public domain and you can use it.

    So: whoever took the photo is holding the rights to that particular photo (of the painting that is public domain in itself).

    You have a wonderfull page! I was really impressed by all those paintings! One of my favourite painter is Kaulbach and I was really happy to see so many of his paintings that I have never seen before! I knew some of them but only in black and white. May I ask you were you found those stunning paintings? Have you found them in a book or in a museum?
    thanks in advance for your response :)

    Hello from France !
    Your site is absolutly wonderful, congratulations for the good work you do, andi’m admirative about the time you must spend for this. All your reproductions are really nice, I just notice a mistake in the attribution of one painting.
    On page 112, the painting titled “Weapons for liberty” is on the Herbert PAUS page, but it’s a Joseph Christian Leyendecker’s work.
    Again, congratulations to your really nice work, it allowed me to discover many painters that I didn’t know before.
    Great Job !

      Serge,
      thank you very much. You’re right about “Weapons for Liberty”. I’ll remove it from Paus page and I’ll correctly post it in J.C.Leyendecker’s page.
      Thanks again!

    Wonderful blog!!

    Do you think it would be a good idea to include some samples from Maurice Sendak’s work now that he has died? He is possibly the most award-winning creator of pictures of and for children.

    Here’s one of many:

    Here’s another:

    (My favourites are in that book, Outside Over There. They don’t have the monsters in them, though that’s not the reason I like them.)

    Thank you for sharing all these wonderful pictures.

    I found the Leyendecker 4th of July painting on your website…. I used to own that painting and sold it in 1999 or so through a dealer, buyer unknown. But that IS the painting which hung on the wall in my livingroom along with another Leyendecker one. I got the painting from my cousin (who is now deceased) and had it restored (it had some cracks, etc.). My Aunt Mona and Uncle Loyal posed for that painting. Their mother, my grandmother, was Clara Ann Spencer. She and her kids all lived in New York City and got into modeling because my grandmother had met the mother of Humphrey Bogart who got her into it. She and her kids were on a lot of covers of magazines.
