Marco, Hello!
I am very very very like your site. Thank you for your hard work and excellent collection.
With gratitude I share a few links to Russian resources. I hope that someday you’ll come in handy.
Marco, Ciao!
Sono molto molto molto simile a tuo sito. Grazie per il vostro duro lavoro e la raccolta eccellente.
Con gratitudine condivido alcuni link alle risorse russe. Mi auguro che un giorno verrai a portata di mano.

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.
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Wilhelm_Bauerle
best regards,
Andreas from Germany
Thank you.
I linked your Wikipedia article at the end of Carl Bauerle’s post:
http://iamachild.wordpress.com/2009/07/21/carl-wilhelm-bauerle-1831-1912-german/
I also added four other paintings of this great artist.
Best regards
Marco
Hello,
I liked your web page. You must be spending lot of time on it. Great job…
Can we have links exchange?
Thank you. I linked your site.
Thank you very much.
I listed your site in my links. Good luck!
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.
Thank you. I’ll post Pease Gutmann and Willcox Smith’s paintings as soon as possible. Thanks again.
I seen the Pierre Oliver Joeseph Coomans painting ( The Children Quarreling) I have a print of that on my print they call it (Le Defi) translates into (The Challenge) Do you know when or why the name has been changed?
Bouguereau????
Presto.
I am interested in obtaining the image of ‘Guardian Angel’ by Johann Georg von Bremen for a book I am writing. Are you able to provide me with a 300dpi of this image? and Permissions?
thank you!
Mary Wareham
Are there any other images of guardian angels with or withour children that you are aware of on this site? It is most beautiful!

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
Nello Iovine
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.
What a great site!
I’m art teacher and this is my conference about “Childhood in art history”:

Bye, Cecilia
Grazie mille
Bonjour,
je souhaiterai savoir où se trouve le tableau de la famille Dormer.
Merci d’avance!
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.
It’s kind of you. Thank you very much.
great site…thanks
It’s kind of you. Thanks
hello my name is wesley Lowe, I am an artist/illustrator, I am pleased that you have chosen to display some of my paintings on this site.
wes
It’s a great honor and pleasure. I really love your paintings. Keep up the good work!
“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.
Marco
Thank you for your kind words. I look forward to seeing your new artists as you discover them and introduce them to us! So much art, so little time…it’s the same with literature.
Hi! you have a really incredible site! it´s so interesting, and beautiful!! thank you for your hard work, for bring us these pictures… i am doing an study about the children in the art, and your site has been a fantastic help. Maybe, you could put the year and the museum of each painting… Anyway, thank you for your task. I enjoyed it!
Thank you, that’s kind of you.
i have a picture of lea horses i love it i got it a action i dont know how to tell if it is real or not can you tell me how i can tell please and tell me about this pic
ciao volevo comunicarti che questo sito sarà citato come una delle fonti delle immagini che faranno parte della rivista Infanzia di settembre, perché qui ho trovato due immagini di André Edouard Marty.

Grazie. Se mi vorrai comunicare l’indirizzo della rivista la segnalerò senz’altro sulla pagina Facebook del mio blog. Ciao.
Marco
Your site is marvelous. I have spent several happy hours here. What a terrific collection.
Thank you, Ellen. That’s kind of you.
Your work is very valuable. A place full of emotions and beauty
What a great idea to gather in one space so many artists associated with children!
Other Chilean painters you might find useful are:

Sono interessata ai quadri inseriti di Carl Blaas in quanto sto svolgendo un programma di ricerca sulla famiglia Blaas.Avrei bisogno di conoscere la provenienza o attuale collocazione del quadro The Holy family.
E’ possibile?
Grazie infinite

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:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mabel_Lucie_Attwell
All the best
richard
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
Marco
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?
Anna
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.
Yes, the painting is, but the picture taken of the painting isn’t (so they told me)..
So: whoever took the photo is holding the rights to that particular photo (of the painting that is public domain in itself).
Marco,
great blog and FB page. I’m trying to trace your Ferdinand Keller picture Kaiser Wilhelm II Silver Wedding. Can’t find it anywhere. Do you have a source please ?
Phillip,
I found it on this forum:
http://forum.alexanderpalace.org/index.php?topic=13231.0
What a beautiful site!
Thank you
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
Thank you. I find most of these paintings on the internet, but I also take several reproductions from old books.

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
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!
Marco
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:
http://img.artknowledgenews.com/files2011june/Maurice-Sendak-Outside-Over-There.jpg
Here’s another:
http://assets.flavorwire.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Outside-over-there.jpg
(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.
Carl
I’ll try to do something about Sendak as soon as possible. Thanks.
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.
Thank you very much for your precious information.
Looking for informationn about Herman kaulbach and his works. Need information about “Baby’s First Adventure” by Herman kaulbach.
Hello!
First I’d like to congratulate you on your fantastic blog!
I’ve just started my own blog (its actually my second), http://onelittleexplorer.wordpress.com/, and I thought it would be nice to include a painting with each post. So I’ve been looking through my art books and Google images, which thankfully brought me here. I was just wondering what the permissions are on these images and if I could use them on my own blog, on which I’d would of course place a link leading back here
Regards,
Gerard.
Gerard,
thank you very much. About permissions: 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. Most of the paintings posted here entered the public domain and they are exclusively used to promote art and artists.
Things change when you post living artists. Obviously all paintings copyrights belong to them. So when you post these images don’t forget to quote the artist’s name, crediting him for his work.
Regards,
Marco.
Excellent news. Thanks
Please see if you can access this item from New York Times:
ART REVIEW
The Hundred-Year Childhood
‘Century of the Child: Growing by Design, 1900-2000’ at MoMA
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/27/arts/design/review-century-of-the-child-at-moma.html
Carl
thanks.
Impressive achievement and I find covering photography with its short history intimidating. You need to check out two names: Steve Hanks, an American and Jan Saudek, who is Czech. Many people get the impression that Saudek only does photography, but he had used them as templates for his paintings as well and there are a smattering of children.
Ron,
I know them both. I’ll post Steve Hanks as soon as possible. Regarding Saudek, the decision is more complex. He’s certainly not a conventional artist. I’ve already received criticism for publishing artists like Balthus or Ovenden…There is the risk of being censored or blocked as, unfortunately, it is sufficient that only one follower flags the blog as “inappropriate”. Before publishing artists like Saudek, Stu Mead, Otto Lohmuller, Mike Cockrill…I have to think twice.
Yes, I agree, Steve Hanks should definitely be added to this website. His watercolors of children are fantastic. Also, what about Robert Vickery since his piece is featured as the logo of this wonderful website.
Thank you. Their paintings will be published soon…
Keep up the good work
I love this site and the beautiful images.
Would it be possible to have permission to use some for my e mail stationery please?
Weasie
Ooh – I love these pictures!
A stunning blog – looks like a lot of hard work has gone into compiling this collection. I shall be back again!
I visit your site often! I’d like to call your attention to another great children’s book illustrator and artist, Matt Tavares. I especially love his nostalgic baseball stories and pictures. If you are interested, his website is http://www.matttavares.com/index.html
I’ll certainly look his illustrations. Thank you very much!
What a wonderful idea for a site! I recognize the painting on your letterhead, but I have forgotten the name of the artist. I know he paints in egg tempera. He was a favorite of mine years ago, and I had a print of a child with a bicycle on a background of pavingstones, which filled the entire picture. I think his first name was Robert. Can you remind me of his name?
Deborah,
the artist’s name is Robert Vickrey. More paintings here:
http://iamachild.wordpress.com/2012/08/30/robert-vickrey-1926-2001-american/
I just would like to license a photo shown on this website. I want to use it for an article.
Barbara,
I don’t have the copyright on the paintings that I post. Most of them are in public domain, others are not. Just know that copyright term expires 70 years from artist’s death. Otherwise all paintings copyrights belong to the artist and you should ask for permission. In any case, always remember to quote the artist’s name.
Hey, thnx for your reply. I know it expires after 70 years, but the maker of the photograph has copyrights too. So perhaps you are able to tell me who owns the photograph of the painting of David Artz ‘Mother with Children and Lamb’, then I can ask the owner, since I am afraid the journal will not accept it otherwise.
Sorry but no photographer’s name is quoted.
Hello, just a quick note to say your site is such a great resource. i’ve made a little mention of it on my blog today: http://www.room-to-bloom.com/blog/out-to-play-paintings-of-children/
Ursula,
It’s kind of you. Thank you very much
Marco
Dear Ghost,
Wonderful work as always!
When you write, for example, 1920 as a single date, does it mean the birth year of the artist, or the time at which most of the paintings were painted, or something else?
Thank you very much for all your conscientious work.
A single date means that the artist is still…alive and kicking
Just wondering why you haven’t included the beautiful drawings of Kate Greenaway in your list. There are so many delightful pictures of children by that great Victorian artist.
You can also check out Randolph Caldecott. His illustrations for Four and Twenty Blackbirds, Babes in the Wood, etc is worth viewing.
I’ll try to post them both as soon as possible.
Thanks. Your site is a blessing!
