rennaissance painters: what is a baby? a small man?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

every time i see this post it\u2019s accompanied by a different horrifying painted man baby<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In the Detroit Museum of Art there\u2019s a neat room where they have paintings from the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries along with plaques explaining the transition in European art from\u00a0\u201cmanbaby\u201d to an actual, somewhat realistic child.<\/p>\n

According to those plaques, society\u2019s general feeling about children was that they were sinful, cruel, unchristian things which had to be taught how to act like their betters, the adults. Because of this, the people paying for portraits of their children generally requested that the children be given the appearance of an adult, so that they would be visually associated with being a kind and proper individual. As we progressed out of the Byzantine era people\u2019s opinions changed and the innocence of youth was seen as a desirable thing, so the depiction of children shifted to make them appear more cherubic.<\/p>\n

This idea is touched on briefly in this article on @vox<\/a>\u200b: http:\/\/www.vox.com\/2015\/7\/8\/8908825\/ugly-medieval-babies<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2026 Though the article covers a broader time period and therefore explains more about how the Medieval period caused society to think up something as weird as a \u201cManbaby\u201d in the first place.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
