A portrait can be much more than a straightforward likeness of a person. A cryptoportrait may, at first sight, not look like a portrait at all because it can be ‘disguised’ e.g. as an Adoration of the Magi with real people playing the parts of the Magi, or as a statue of a prophet or […] |

Pieter Bruegel the Elder (d. 1569) is probably best known for his colourful depictions of peasants making merry or toiling in the fields. He also painted religious scenes in the Netherlandish countryside. Although these works lent him the epithet, ‘Peasant Brueghel’, his work was more than just charmingly naïve. He was very much a townsman […] |

Children can be found in art across at least five millennia. The question is whether these pictures are recognisable to us as children. When we look at early child portraits we often see diminutive figures, stiff and often dressed in adult-like clothes: the stereotypical ‘miniature adults’ that confirm our worst fears.
