About this book
Pictures Every Child Should Know presents a selection of art masterpieces, with illustrations from paintings and acknowledgments to writers on artists and pictures. The introduction places the beginnings of art in decoration, suggesting lines indented in clay or hollowed in wooden family utensils before crude colouring and drawing. The introduction describes the inclination to decorate belongings as one of the earliest signs of civilisation.
The account of Andrea says that almost all his pictures were on sacred subjects. The account of Millet describes a boy who repeatedly copied pictures from the Bible onto stone walls in white chalk. The discussion of Leonardo cites an author's description of his combined talents.
