Educational Scenes, Child Portraits and Eros Figures in Late Classical and Hellenistic Greek Sculpture

Summary/Abstract: In my study, I aim to present children’s portraits of Hellenistic Greek sculpture, children’s figures of Eros, and genre-like children’s depictions showing a dyadic relationship, the patterns of attitudes behind the works, in an effort to explore the main voices of the history of childhood, society and ideas. In my paper, I use the methodological tools of childhoodhistorical iconography, in addition to Panofsky’s iconographic-iconological model, in this case mainly validating the Schneiderian approach to social history, taking into account the analytical aspects of visual anthropology, visual sociology and visual communication. The aim of my study is – as a continuation of my paper titled “Representations of Children in the Hellenistic Greek Sculpture” published in the Studies 2019/1 (Tamba 2019, 101–122) – to map the ideological-social meanings and cultural references carried by the child representations of the period, which refer to the work of a new philosophical sensitivity to the problems of the individual.
