"Pictures Every Child Should Know" by Mary Schell Hoke Bacon is a collection of art masterpieces specifically curated for young readers, likely written in the early 20th century. This educational work aims to introduce children to significant artworks and their creators, blending art appreciation with education, and encourages exploration of Western art’s history and heritage. At the start of the book, the introduction emphasizes the evolution of art from ancient to modern times, highlighting the significance of creative expression throughout history. It discusses how early forms of art served to document life and social customs, eventually leading to more refined expressions of beauty as societies developed. The text references key periods and artists, such as Andrea del Sarto and Michael Angelo, indicating that the book will cover various influential figures in art. The opening sets a framework for appreciating the significance of visual art and suggests that these artistic treasures can lay the foundation for children's cultural understanding and aesthetic enjoyment.
