If you
hadn't heard of Philipp Otto Runge before, join the club! But when I came across this painting in a
book I knew I wanted to share it with you.
The original
painting can be seen in the Art Gallery in Hamburg in Germany. It was painted in about 1806.
This lovely
portrait of a trader's children was unusual for its time because the children
were not painted as mini adults but at life size and putting the viewer on the
same level as the children.
You can see
the family resemblance between the children but I must say the hair on the
right hand boy looks a bit odd to me.
