A travers les oeuvres de plus de 230 artistes, cette étude s'intéresse à la représentation de l'enfance dans la peinture depuis le Moyen Age. Des tableaux d'église aux tableaux de salon, des enfants divins aux petits gueux, les auteurs questionnent les fonctions de la peinture, son évolution du sacré au profane et son implication dans les pratiques éducatives. ©Electre 2016

"The subject of this work is the way that symbolism operates in official representations of the pharaohs' sons and daughters, during the historical period widely known as the New Kingdom (1550-1069 BC). The use of symbols in different expressions of Egyptian culture has been widely mentioned, and has been discussed from many different angles. Scholars have also analysed the identity and function of various royal children through historical and genealogical works. However, there has been little attempt to associate general ideas about visual and verbal symbolism with a socially homogeneous group such as the royal children. The author therefore aims to explore and explain what lies beneath the choice, the variation and the evolution of symbols used in the royal children's iconography and imagery. The area of Egyptian culture that was most affected by this symbolism is essentially the royal ideology. In the course of the five chapters of this work the author explains not only the role of royal children in analogies between divine and royal families, but also how the royal children became an official link between the king and leading non-royals."--Publisher's website.
