Children were featured in a number of paintings, initially in religious works, followed by mythological and allegorical scenes. Starting in the 17th century, and particularly the 18th, society began taking an interest in children in their own right. Artists chose to paint their portraits, depict them with their families or going about their activities. This guide invites children to discover their historical counterparts, painted by French artists from the 17th to the 19th century.
