Emotions through Art
What do centuries-old frescoes, paintings, and drawings tell us about the emotions of children and their parents in early modern Europe? Jeroen Dekker, emeritus professor of the Foundations of Pedagogy at the University of Groningen, takes you to times when much attention was paid to children, such as the Renaissance, Humanism, and the Reformation. Along the way, you will encounter artists like Rembrandt, Matthias Grünewald, and Giuseppe Cesari.
