Ugly Renaissance Babies
The Renaissance artists repeatedly did something that we wonder about today – they painted babies like miniaturized old men. This was probably due to the fact that the they didn’t have a concept of childhood they same way we do now, so in some 15th and 16th century works, it looks like the painter never laid eyes on a baby.
